Research Profile
I am interested in vertebrate anatomy, development, evolution, and phylogenetic relationships with special focus on the braincase of basal diapsids and archosaurs. I have experience with CT scans of fossils and extant vertebrate material, including iodine-stained samples (DICE-CT), as well as with phylogenetic methods.
I am currently working with Dr. Rainer Schoch in the DFG-funded project “New reptiles of the Middle Triassic of Germany”, aiming to identify and describe new findings from vertebrate-fossillagerstätten from Baden-Württemberg, their phylogenetic relationships, and implications for basal diapsid evolution and subsequent diversity.
