I am a Postdoctoral researcher in the Population Genetics group. I am interested in the population history of Europe between the Iron Age and present-day, with specific focus on Celtic populations, and the development of analytical methods to further increase resolution available for population genetic studies of this period.
Curriculum Vitae
I have studied Genetics in the University of York (2013) and Evolutionary Anthropology in Durham University (2014), before being awarded a PhD in Genetics by the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena (2021) for my work at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History (MPI-SHH).
Since 2021 I have been a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA), working in the ERC project MICROSCOPE.
