Research interest
My research interest focuses on understanding how anthropogenic stressors affects species, populations and communities.
The focus of my PhD research is on eco-evolutionary dynamics in phytoplankton communitites in response to ocean acidification. I focus on adaptation and eco-evo dynamics in simple phytoplankton communities consisting of two species. During my PhD I have helped to develop a stable phytoplankton system of two species to investigate long term effects of ocean acidification and competition.
During my studies molecular processes in organisms have been of great interest during several practical projects at the University of Zurich (molecular study on C. elegans, population study on house mice) and the IOW in Warnemünde (study of Thraumrcheota from the Baltic Sea). During my Master thesis I developed a gene expression analysis in Atlantic herring larvae for a set of genes and analysed the effect of ocean acidification and warming on gene expression in Atlantic herring larvae during their first 40 days of life.
