Dr. Jana Isanta-Navarro
I am a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Freshwater Ecology at the University of Copenhagen. I am most fascinated by the interplay of ecological and evolutionary processes in lake ecosystems. Especially the lower part of the food chain, from nutrients via phytoplankton to zooplankton is in the focus of my research. With my research, I want to contribute to our understanding of some of the challenges our freshwater ecosystems are facing, now and in the future.

Claudia Lassen
I hold a Bachelor and Master degree in Biology from the University of Copenhagen and specialised in ecology throughout my studies. I am generally interested in freshwater and marine ecology, and botany, but especially phytoplankton. I really like phytoplankton! For my PhD research I will assess changes in key-ecological traits that not only impact the fitness of phytoplankton itself but are also of nutritional importance to higher trophic levels. For that, I will experimentally examine ecological and evolutionary changes of more than 40 different phytoplankton species to several environmental gradients. I look forward to getting the first data, as I really enjoy data visualisation and statistics.
