I am an evolutionary ecologist that combines experimental approaches, field work and genetic tools to answer interesting questions asked in biology. My interest in natural science is very broad and I have repeatedly participated in interdisciplinary projects.

I am a post-doctoral researcher in the SNF project AVE (adaptive genetic variation and plant adaptation to environmental heterogeneity), which investigates the genetics behind local adaptation of alpine plants. I am part of Felix Gugerli's research group (Ecological genetics), the project is done in co-operation with Rolf Holderegger (WSL Birmensdorf) and the groups of Alex Widmer (ETH Zürich) and Kentaro Shimizu (University of Zürich).
