Reasearch / work
My research focuses on the ecology, diversity and reproduction of cold-water cnidarians and sponges. These animals form vital habitats in deep sea ecosystems, supporting a high diversity of marine life. I combine different morphological and molecular tools to get a comprehensive overview of the species diversity and life histories in selected species.
