Summary
Cecilia Nilsson is a behavioral ecologist and researcher at Lund University with nine years of experience studying bird flight behavior, migration and radar aeroecology. She applies networks of weather surveillance radars to reveal large-scale biodiversity patterns, differences between migration systems, and bird movements under extreme conditions. Her work bridges fundamental ecology and applied conservation, addressing real-world conflicts where birds and human activities share aerial space. Cecilia’s academic path includes a PhD in Animal Ecology from Lund and postdoctoral research at Cornell and Copenhagen, reflecting strong international collaboration. Less obvious is her methodological focus: she blends animal movement analysis with radar signal interpretation to scale individual behavior into continental patterns.
