Research
My research focus is on the ecology and evolution of host-parasite interactions. Specifically, A) I have been investigating the role of parasites (and predators) in maintaining the coexistence of species in Daphnia (water fleas) hybridizing systems (PhD project, Switzerland, Eawag/ETH) and currently B) I am involved in the project headed by Mike Lynch that investigates the most striking question in evolution: “why sex and recombination?” (Postdoc project, Indiana University, Department of Biology). see more
