Д-р Катерина Русевска е редовен професор на Институтот за биологија, Природно-математичкиот факултет, Универзитет Св. Кирил и Методиј“ во Скопје, Македонија. Таа работи во областите микологија и образование по биологија и природни науки. Нејзиниот главен фокус е видовото разнообразие на габи, таксономија, заштита, црвени листи и слично. Вклучена е во стручното усовршување на наставниците по биологија во текот на нивното формално академско образование, реализирајќи теоретски и практични часови од областа на методика во наставата по биологија, како методи и техники на предавања, експерименти, учење базирано на искуство и проекти, креативна настава и др. Била член или ментор во комисиите за одбрана на повеќе дипломски, магистерски и докторски теми од областа на микологијата и образованиетео по биологија. Учествува во голем број домашни и меѓународни истражувачки или апликативни проекти, како учесник, проектен асистент или раководител и има објавено истражувачки трудови во меѓународни или домашни списанија. Таа е активен член на: Македонското миколошко друштво, Македонското еколошко друштво, Македонското биолошко друштво, Истражувачкото друштво на студенти биолози, а од 2019 година е секретар на Европската миколошка асоцијација.

Short Bio (200 words)

Katerina Rusevska (PhD, full professor) is working at the Institute of Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Macedonia. She works in the field of mycology and biology education. Her main focus in mycology is on fungi diversity, taxonomy, conservation, red listing. She is involved in the professional development of pre-service biology teachers during their formal academic education, realizing theoretical and practical lessons in the field of biology education, such as methods, experiments, project base learning, creative teaching, etc. She is part of the teams for organizing and trainings of seminars in science (biology) for primary and secondary school teachers, students or mycology amateurs and collectors. She has participated in many national and international research or applicative projects, as a participant, project assistant or a leader. She has published research papers in international or national journals. She is an active member in the: Macedonian Mycological Society, Macedonian Ecological Society, Macedonian Biological Society, Biology Students` Research Society, and since 2019 a secretary of the European Mycological Association.
