I am a palaeobiologist interested in the evolution and biodiversity of vertebrates across the last 300 million years. I am particularly interested in how past climate change impacted these creatures, and how this can help us better understand the long-term impacts of the current climate and biodiversity crisis.

Some of my current work includes investigating how past climate change played a role in dinosaur evolution, examining how sampling biases can impact our understanding deep time biodiversity patterns, and performing data-driven analyses of how ethical issues and the legacy of colonialism influence paleontological research.

I am currently an Akademische Rätin (Assistant professor) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) in Erlangen, Germany. Here, I teach courses on both the International Masters in Paleobiology and the Bachelors in Geoscience (Bachelor Geowissenschaften). So, if you are a prospective student or current student interested in working together, please get in touch!
