Bachelor’s Thesis Defenses 2025

On June 5th the University of Tartu botany department had a day full of Bachelor's thesis defenses. From our research group three students successfully defended their bachelor’s theses - Mari Tiits (supervised by Meelis), Marta Miia Pärnpuu (supervised by Meelis), and Annaliisa Väljaots (supervised by Riin). Their research focused on the dark diversity of insects, the application of artificial intelligence in plant co-existence identification, and the impact of human dietary choices on biodiversity. Mari (third from left on the photo), Marta Miia, and Annaliisa (second from right on the photo) demonstrated a strong research interest and excellent ability to successfully complete complex projects. We wish them a lot of success in their future scientific endeavors!
