I am a Junior Professor for Environmental Genomics at the Limnological Institute at the University of Konstanz. I study biodiversity changes in relation to changes of Earth's surface over geological timescales and across the last decades, centuries and millennia by using genomic data as (paleo-)ecological and evolutionary archives. My methodological focus has been on time series from (ancient) environmental DNA obtained directly from sedimentary deposits and other environmental archives.

I am interested in biodiversity-based genomic approaches and have long been intrigued by aquatic systems, particularly marine environments, and population genomics. My work includes the full spectrum of genomic data processing, from DNA extraction and bioinformatic data analysis to comprehensive genomic analyses. I have experience in genomic, metagenomic, and metabarcoding research. Currently, I am investigating the past population dynamics and genomic structure of Apocalathium malmogiense and Skeletonema marinoi in the Baltic Sea.
