I am a data scientist at the University of Bern, in the Clinical Trials Unit within the Department of Clinical Research. I have previously been a researcher in evolutionary biology and population genetics, working on simulation and theory as well as empirical plant genomics.
My most recent position was SNSF Ambizione Fellow in the Department of Biology at the University of Fribourg. As a Junior Group Leader, I supervised and graduated my first and best and last doctoral student, Dr. Leo Zeitler. I had previously been a postdoc in the Department of Computational Biology at the University of Lausanne (UNIL), working with Christophe Dessimoz, an EMBO long-term postdoctoral fellow in the Institute of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Bern, working with Laurent Excoffier and Stephan Peischl, and an EEB postdoctoral fellow with Aneil Agrawal and Stephen Wright in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto.
I received my PhD in the department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia, working with Mike Whitlock.
