Louisa grew up in the Weserbergland near Höxter and moved to Würzburg for her Bachelor’s degree in Biology. In October 2025, she started her Master’s degree in Biosciences with a focus on bioinformatics and conservation biology.
Research Background
During her Bachelor’s thesis, Louisa worked on the phylogeny of Haptophyta, a fascinating algal group. This experience in phylogenetic analysis and evolutionary biology sparked her broader interests in understanding how different life forms evolved and how we can better conserve them.
Current Research Direction
As a Master’s student, Louisa is interested in exploring different aspects of nature conservation and bioinformatics, and particularly how to connect these two important fields. Her work aims to bridge computational and molecular biology with practical conservation efforts.
Research Interests
- Phylogeny and evolutionary relationships
- Haptophyta and algal evolution
- Nature conservation strategies
- Bioinformatics applications
- Biodiversity assessment and protection
- Conservation biology
- Molecular approaches to conservation
- Computational methods in ecology
Personal Interests
Outside of university, Louisa’s current hobbies include dancing salsa and playing the piano. These creative pursuits balance her scientific work and reflect her multifaceted interests.
Academic Philosophy
Louisa’s combination of interests in both the computational/theoretical aspects of biology and the practical applications to conservation demonstrates her commitment to using scientific knowledge to address real-world environmental challenges.
