Funktion und Aufgaben:

Postdoctoral researcher

Wissenschaftliche Interessen:

I am broadly interested in biogeography and macroecology. I used various statistical, numerical, and computational techniques to investigate drifting microbes, marine megafauna, coral reefs, environmental pollution, human-resource interactions and recently the macroevolution of organisms and their links to geomorphological and climatic events.
