Research interests
I am interested in plant adaptation and rapid evolution. For my master thesis I have used the ex-situ collections from the Botanical Garden of Tübingen to investigate possible maladaptative processes caused by cultivation. After using living plant material to study adaptation and rapid evolution during my Masters I have decided to use stored seed material for my PhD Project (Back to the Future). In this project I aim to investigate recent adaptation to environmental changes (e.g. climate change) using the resurrection approach.
