Evolutionary and Integrative Ecology
I am a biophysicist interested in integrating open research and education workflows with the web, particularly through open licensing, open standards, open collaboration, public version histories and forkability. With research activities spanning from the subcellular to the organismic level, from fossils to developing embryos, from biodiversity informatics to data science more broadly and how this all fits with sustainable development, I experienced multiple shades of the research cycle and a variety of approaches to collaboration, sharing and reproducibility in research contexts. I have also been contributing to Wikipedia and its sister projects for about two decades and am actively engaged in increasing the interactions between the Wikimedia and research communities, particularly around Wikidata. All of this informs my current activities as a researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering, at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries and at the Ronin Institute.
