An EconoTimes perspective

PhD Student, Monash University

PhD Student, Monash University I am an evolutionary microbiologist conducting my PhD at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia with Mike McDonald. Before joining Mike's lab, I received my training in Biology (B.Sc.) at Kiel University in Germany and in Microbiology (M.Sc.) at Copenhagen University in Denmark, where I was working with Ákos T. Kovács. I am mainly interested in how complex microbial communities evolve together and adapt to rapidly changing environments. My research focuses on how evolution can alter the stability landscape of microbial communities, both as free-living communities and within host systems.
