Giulia Ghedini
Group Leader, Functional Ecology Group @IGC (Dec 2021-present) I am an ecologist and my main interest is understanding the mechanisms that regulate the functioning of ecological communities. During my PhD at the University of Adelaide (2013-2016) in the lab of Prof. Sean Connell, I studied how changes in the strength of consumer-resource interactions stabilise community productivity to environmental change. These results led me to join the lab of Prof. Dustin Marshall at Monash University, first as a postdoc and then as a Australian Research Council DECRA fellow, to investigate how organisms uptake and expend energy in their populations and communities. I became fascinated by the understanding the consequences of species interactions, such as competition, on energy use at different scales, from species to communities. In my lab at IGC we use marine phytoplankton to study the interplay between organismal metabolism, species interactions, and community functioning. [Download CV] |

Moritz Klaassen
Lab Manager Moritz holds a degree in Environmental Science from the University of Oldenburg in Germany and a master’s degree in Marine Biological Resources from Ghent University in Belgium. He has specialized in applied marine ecology and conservation is particularly interested in experimental marine ecology. His past research includes drivers of organic carbon fluxes in tropical ecosystems and competition and coexistence in planktonic communities under the broad framework of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Moritz is joining the research group Functional Ecology of Dr. Giulia Ghedini at IGC as a laboratory manager. |
