PhD student in the group of Walter Salzburger. Works on the evolution of Cichlids of Lake Tanganjika.
The main focus points of my biological interests are the ecological aspects of evolution, such as phylo-geography, eco-morphology and taxonomy. I am especially fascinated by the huge variety of forms and eco-morphs, present within the cichlid fish family, especially the ones in the radiations of the east African Great Lakes. In my PhD, I aim to assess the genetic base of certain key-traits involved in speciation and the role of different selective pressures in the formation of new species, using the highly diverse species assemblages of Lake Tanganyika.
I spend all the money I can save to travel the world - whenever possible. I love to explore different cultures and countries, of such especially those with good divesites. During the times at home I really enjoy a beer out with friends or once in a while a good movie. In winter I also like to get on my board and slide down the hills.
