Associated Scientist, Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change The focus of my research is on the taxonomy and systematics of chondrichthyans (sharks, skates and rays, chimaeras) in the deep western Indian Ocean, an area with a very poorly known cartilaginous fish fauna and simultaneously increasing commercial fishing efforts, intensified deep-water fishery, and declining populations of many cartilaginous fish species.
