Forschungsinteressen

I am an evolutionary biologist specializing in using genomic data to understand the evolution of marine species. My research investigates how genetic variations drive adaptation and speciation in Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) and how these populations respond to intense harvest pressure. During my PhD, I apply long-read sequencing technologies (Nanopore and PacBio HiFi) to generate high-quality genomic data. By investigating the SNPs, structural variants, and epigenomic modifications in these populations, I aim to develop a comprehensive understanding of the evolutionary processes shaping population differentiation and adaptation in the dynamic environment of the Baltic Sea.
