As an evolutionary biologist I am generally interested in the molecular evolution of adaptive traits. Currently I am studying how Pooideae grasses adapted to the conditions in temperate environments.

PhD Candidate
I am studying the genetic and ecological aspects of an intra-continental plant invasion of Cytisus scoparius.

I study the evolution of cold acclimation and its role in the successful adaptation of the grass subfamily Pooideae. Did the grasses evolve the possibility to accumulate fructan as a response to cold?

How, why, and when do complex physiological traits evolve in plants? I try to find answers to these questions by studying the evolution of photoperiod-mediated flowering in temperate grasses.

Members of the CONSTANS gene family are key components in photoperiod-mediated flowering. In my MSc Project I will investigate the evolution of CONSTANS genes in Pooideae using a proteomic approach.
