I have a PhD in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, specialising on early vertebrates, particularly placoderms. I am now in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, doing some collaborations with Prof. Kirstin Brink's lab. I have research papers in both the vertebrate and invertebrate world. Other than research, I performed taphonomical decay experiments for my MSc, preparation work during my PhD, and have extensive experience in segmentation (Mimics) and fieldwork in remove areas.
