Postdoc

Akanksha Singh

Akanksha studies the introduction history of grain amaranth to India and the sources of adaptive alleles.






Margarita Takou

Margarita studies polygenic selection in an experimental population of European maize.






PhD candidates

Corbinian Graf

Corbinian is a PhD student studying the genetic landscape of grain amaranth and how it changed during the repeated domestication.






Kerstin Schulz

Kerstin is a PhD student and part of the CEPLAS graduate school. Kerstin employs ancestral recombination graphs to study the evolution of maize
