​Jonathan Henshaw

​I did my PhD with Hanna Kokko and Michael Jennions at the Australian National University, followed by a postdoc with Adam Jones at the University of Idaho. I've been a Junior Professor at the University of Freiburg since April 2020.

Outside of work, I like birding, diving, hanging out with my family, and finding new ways to combine these activities.

​My Erdős number is 5.

Xiaoyan Long (Postdoc)

I did my PhD with Weissing Franjo, Jan Komdeur and Tamas Szekely at the University of Groningen. Since June 2022, I have been a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Freiburg. I have broad research interests, including parental care, mate choice, cooperation and conflict, and competition. Moreover, I have extensive experience in theoretical modelling, phylogenetic analysis and fieldwork.

Stephan Lohmar (PhD student)

​I finished my master studies in biology at the University of Freiburg with a thesis on the structuring mechanisms of termite communities in the savanna of the Ivory Coast. I am interested in major evolutionary transitions, especially the transition from organism to superorganism.

Stephan is co-supervised by Prof. Judith Korb.

Mohammadali Dashtbali (PhD student)

​I did my master studies on mathematical modelling of infectious disease and control of such diseases using a differential game approach at Tarbiat Modares University (TMU), Iran.

I am interested in evolutionary biology, evolutionary game theory, sexual selection, simulation modelling, mathematical biology and genetics.

Kartikey Awasthi (PhD student)

I did my Master's at IISER, Mohali studying theoretical modelling of social behaviours. I am currently studying the dynamics and evolution of human mate choice, especially when parents are involved in the process. I am keen on the education of evolutionary theory as well! 

Outside academia, you can chat with me about linguistics, history of science, animated movies, mythology, and basically anything!​

​Carola Sigle (Technician)

I finished my biology degree in 2001 with a thesis on life-history variation in Anodonta mussels. Since 2004, I've worked as a technician at the University of Freiburg, providing assistance with both teaching and research. I enjoy supervising students in their lab courses.
