The research group, founded in 2004, focuses on environmental factors regulating urban animal populations and the behavioral and evolutionary consequences of habitat urbanization. Through studies on wild populations and laboratory experiments, they have identified differences in fear responses to humans between urban and forest birds. By examining brain receptor genes, they investigate the genetic basis of behavioral diversity.

The modern analytical chemistry provides essential knowledge about the composition of materials, chemical, biological, environmental, and technological processes. The research group primarily focuses on two main areas: separation sciences and surface analytical research. They conduct basic and applied research in developing chromatographic methods, modeling retention processes, water and drug analysis, researching the physicochemical basis of complex equilibria and new principle-based analytical separations, designing and developing stationary phases.
