Hi, my name is Alma Koenig. I recently joined the Department of Biology as a financial administrator. I have previously worked for the Department of Economics as a department administrator and purchase coordinator.

Before joining Lund University I have spent 8 years at the World Maritime University in Malmö as Admissions Officer so I have experience working with administration concerning higher education.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and exercising.

You will find me in the Ecology building.

Hej!
I’m Juan Gefaell, and I just joined Tobias Uller’s group as a postdoc in the Biology department. I will be primarily working on historical and philosophical topics related to evolutionary theory.

For those unfamiliar with the philosophy of evolutionary biology—or the philosophy of science more broadly—it basically involves reflecting on and shedding light on the fundamental assumptions underlying most scientific theories and disciplines. These reflections may not only provide insights into how science works but also can help specific disciplines move forward by identifying shaky foundations and suggesting sounder alternatives.

My background is in both philosophy of science and evolutionary biology. For my master’s, I assessed whether the history of contemporary evolutionary biology aligns with Thomas Kuhn’s theory of scientific change. For my PhD, I studied the evolutionary ecology of shell color polymorphism in the marine snail Littorina saxatilis. So I also know what it’s like to get dirty while searching for animals in the field!

Outside work, I’m very into sports—particularly skateboarding, which I’ve been riding for more than 20 years. I also enjoy diving into all sorts of scientific and philosophical disciplines, as well as politics and law, so you’ll likely spot me with a book in hand.

I’m looking forward to discussing science and philosophy with everyone interested and would love to hear more about what you’re working on. So don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Hi, I am Ada Behncké Serra and I’m a new doctoral student under Edith Hammer in the SoilChip group that now is under Functional Ecology. I will study how the chemical properties and stability of microbial necromass are affected by the soil pore space characteristics and the death pathway. I will be working with soil chips (silicone-carved microstructures that mimic the soil pore space), Raman microspectroscopy and deep learning tools to follow the life and death of soil microbes at the microscale.

I am an Environmental Biologist with broad interests. I have worked on plant ecophysiology and chemical ecology, molecular approaches to protist ecology, marine chemical ecology, and soil microbial ecology. I am very interested in tiny things, metabolism, and biogeochemistry. I have a thing for anaerobiosis and symbiosis. I’m also very much into science communication and environmental education.

I love learning and trying out new things. I spend most of my free time hiking, reading, or working out, and I have recently started playing the piano. I like arts and crafts, and I am always up for any kind of physical and cultural activity.
