Working experiences Research activity: Since year 1985-up to the present: Studing the taxonomy of Albanian microscopic algae, mainly siliceous (diatoms: Bacillariophyta), phytoplankton, the trophic state and the quality of surface waters. Focused first on microscopic algae and ecology of coastal lagoons, and then in other freshwater habitats (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, springs, costal marine, etc.). More than 1200 diatom taxa were identified, and most of them were illustrated with microscopic photographs, including some poorly known species. More than ten species have been described as new to science. An interesting collection of permanent slides is available in the lab of Botany, FNS, UT. Moreover, assessment of water quality using diatoms and other microscopic algae was performed in Albanian rivers (Miho et al., 2005; 2008, 2014, 2018), and in Bovilla reservoir, the main drinking water supplier for Tirana capital (Miho et al. , 2009), based also into the application of the related EU standards. The qualification and achievements comprise several research stays abroad, Roma University (Italy), Gent University (Belgium), Rostock, Jena and Frankfurt universities (Germany).
