Dr. Sami Domisch is a postdoctoral researcher in the working group of Dr. Sonja Jähnig at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) in Berlin, where he recently joined after a 3-year postdoc at Yale University in the USA. Sami is interested in freshwater biogeography, with an emphasis on assessing the current status of freshwater biodiversity, as well as under potential environmental change scenarios on different spatial scales. He has a strong background in species distribution modeling, and is interested in how these tools can be further developed within the freshwater realm for management and decision making.
