Independent research fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, working in collaboration with Chris Jiggins at the Zoology Department at the University of Cambridge. In combination with my Branco Weiss Fellowship, I could start my own line of research on the rapid diversification of ithomiini butterflies. I also supervised multiple students and gave lectures at the University of Cambridge.
