Taxonomic Coordination - German Barcode of Life (GBOL)

I studied biology at Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University Greifswald
and graduated with a diploma in biology (major: zoology; minors: biochemistry & ecology) in March 2003. During main studies at
Zoological Institute and Museum Greifswald
I came across with micro-flies (Diptera:
Sciaridae
) and I am still fascinated by them.
After finishing university I worked on different topics at the
Department of Palaeontology & Historical Geology
[German Archive of Glacial Erratic Boulders] and at the
Botanical Institute and Botanical Garden
[Protostelids and Myxomycetes
(Eumycetozoa)].
In 2005 I came back to my dipterous passion and started as Scientific Trainee at
Museum of Zoology Dresden
with main focus on some families of so called
“Fungus Gnats”
(Diptera: Sciaroidea) and held the deputyship of Diptera section in 2008.
In June 2012 I joined the the German Barcode of Life (GBOL) project as taxonomic coordinator. Beside my new duties, I am still interested in the diversity of Holarctic “Fungus Gnats”.
