Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaphaël Scherrer is a University Lecturer and PhD candidate in theoretical evolutionary biology at the University of Groningen with eight years of research and teaching experience using computer simulations, mathematical models and advanced statistics to study speciation, genetics and genomics. He combines hands-on scientific programming with course coordination at bachelor’s and master’s levels, and his work weaves field and museum data (from birds-of-paradise reflectance to Anolis dewlap coloration) with Bayesian phylogenetics and multivariate methods. Trained across leading European and North American institutions (Groningen, Munich, Harvard, Uppsala, Montpellier), he brings a comparative perspective that links empirical trait data to mechanistic models of diversification. Notably, his projects span from microCT development studies to whole-genome transcriptomics and explicit simulation of protracted speciation, reflecting a rare blend of lab, field and theoretical expertise.
