Her research focuses on the application and adaptation of phylogenetic and computational models into the field of historical linguistics.

Dr. Köllner is the current Scientific Coordinator at the DFG Center for Advanced Studies "Words, Bones, Genes, Tools: Tracking Linguistic, Cultural and Biological Trajectories of the Human Past" at the University of Tuebingen. Within the Center her research should be widened with respect to other fields in order gain deeper insights in the driving factors of language contact and lexical borrowing in the history of languages, societies, and human evolution.
