Postdoc in the group "Genome Research"
Since 2025: Postdoc at the Thünen Institute of Forest Genetics in the bilateral ANR-DFG project “Pangenome Beech” - pangenome analysis of European beech to elucidate the role of structural genetic variation
2023 - 2025: Scientific associate at the Thünen Institute of Forest Genetics in the project “BucheTIG” - genomic analyses of local adaptation in European beech
20020 - 2023: PhD student at the Forest Genetics and Forest Tree Breeding Institute, University of Göttingen, Germany, in the DFG project “Detecting genomic signatures of ecological speciation and parallel evolution in oaks”
2019 - 2020: Research assistant at the Austrian Research Centre for Forests (BFW), Vienna, Austria
2015 - 2019: Master of Science in the Mountain Forestry programme, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, Austria
2009 - 2015: Bachelor of Forestry, University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina
