Research Interests

Algae/herbivore- and algae/fouler-interactions in response to various abiotic stressors

Predator/prey interactions in response to ocean acidification

Ecological effects of climate change (ocean acidification, desalination and warming) on early life stages of calcareous organisms (mainly barnacles: Amphibalanus improvisus)

Larval ecology of invertebrates

Education

Since 2008: PhD student (GEOMAR, Kiel)
