M.Sc. Biology at the University of Oldenburg

Research Interests

I am deeply interested in Evolutionary Biology and have recently been introduced to eDNA-based biomonitoring. I aim to understand how evolutionary processes such as adaptation, migration, and natural selection, when combined with eDNA methods, can provide new insights into how species survive and evolve in a changing world. I am truly excited to learn and grow in this rapidly advancing field.
