I am currently working as a PhD student at the Institute for Geoscience at the University of Tübingen, Germany, as a member of the vertebrate palaeontology work group. I received my diploma in geosciences from the same institution. In my PhD, I am working on locomotion and other motion sequences of hadrosaurian dinosaurs using kinetic/dynamic computer modelling. As hadrosaurs were one of the most diverse and successful dinosaur groups, the application of modern CAE (computer aided engineering) techniques in my project will provide a better understanding of their biomechanics, which will allow deeper insights into their ecological adaptations. Furthermore I am interested in recent and fossil vertebrates in general, especially in reptiles, birds and mammals. |
