i am a postdoctoral researcher studying organismal diversification, especially in the context of adaptive radiation. together with patrik nosil i investigate patterns of genomic divergence across the adaptive radiation of timema walking-stick insects. in collaborations with ole seehausen and walter salzburger, i work on the ecomorphological and genomic evolution of cichlid fishes. currently, i am a member of the seehausen group at the institute of ecology & evolution, university of bern, and affiliated with the department of fish ecology & evolution at the eawag (swiss federal institute of aquatic science and technology) in from 2012 to 2015, i was a postdoc in the department of an*mal and plant sciences at the university of sheffield, uk, funded by until january 2012, i have been a graduate student and research as*istant at the university of basel, switzerland. before that, i did my undergrads and conducted my master's thesis work at the university of konstanz, germany.. 02.-03. february 2017 - university of bern and natural history museum bern. gordon research seminar & conference progress, synthesis and integration at the frontiers of speciation research. new paper published in ecology & evolution stochastic processes dominate community as*embly in cichlid communities in lake. new paper published in nature ecology & evolution transitions between phases of genomic differentiation. new paper published in hydrobiologia species integrity and origin of oreochromis hunteri (pisces: cichlidae), endemic to crater lake chala. the ancestors' tale. during a stay at the ancient dna facility at the centre for ecological and evolutionary synthesis of the university of oslo, i succesfully extracted fish dna from several thousand years old cichlid fish bones. i am going to use this approach to study the adaptation to changing environments through time in these fishes.  rocks and bugs in california. from april to june 2015, i collected timema stick insects together with patrik nosil's group from
