Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHannah Owens is an assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen specializing in how ecological, evolutionary, and geophysical processes interact to shape broad-scale biodiversity patterns, with a particular interest in fishes. She combines rigorous field and museum-based data assembly with software development to build large, FAIR-compliant datasets and tools that enable reproducible macroecological and macroevolutionary inference. Holding a courtesy appointment at the Florida Museum of Natural History, she has nine years of research experience spanning postdoctoral fellowships (including a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship) to current faculty work that links global mountain biodiversity and climate research. Hannah is driven by curiosity about emergent patterns in big ecological datasets and prioritizes open, interdisciplinary collaboration and capacity building—skills that make her equally comfortable writing code, curating collections, or coordinating international teams.
