NO, PhD Candidate |
| Taxa Studied: |
Invertebrate Animals |
| Techniques Employed: |
Sanger Sequencing, Solexa (Illumina) Sequencing, Bioinformatics/Sequence Analysis, SNP Mapping, Scanning Electron Microscopy |
| Research Description: |
My interests include all aspects of biological evolution in the deep-sea, but especially the molecular ecology of invertebrates from hard-bottom and chemosynthetic habitats. I combine different molecular tools and interdisciplinary field observations to study the diversity, evolutionary history, phylogeography, population genomics and adaptation of widespread deep-sea and cold-water organisms. I also participate in various ocean exploration initiatives and conservation-oriented projects. |
