Academic interests

My research addresses open questions in evolutionary developmental biology using mathematical and statistical methods and models. Mainly, I’m interested in the evolution of complex organisms. In particular, I’m investigating the paradoxical relationship between evolvability and robustness by developing models of the genotype-phenotype map and studying it in different contexts.

Background

I completed my Master of Science in Biological Anthropology at the University of Vienna. After finishing my undergraduate studies, I was working on developing a Geometric Morphometric Image Analysis (GMIA) at the department of theoretical biology at the University of Vienna.
