Louica Philipp – Scientific Profile

Hello! I imagine this space to be a hub for all the scientific projects and sidequests I take on over the years, with many pictures and links, much like a digital memory wall, for anyone curious (and me). This website will however be work in progress for a while – so if you don’t find what you were looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

As for a short introduction: I am doctoral candidate in theoretical ecology working at University of Potsdam, Germany. My research revolves around the fascinating phenomenon of self-organised pattern formation and its effect on the dynamics and diversity of network-organised ecosystems, i.e., metacommunities. I use numerical simulations of mathematical models combined with analytical tools and a sprinkle of network science, but have a background in general biology, ecology and nature conservation. This is probably also why I keep running around with a camera outside and will not shut up about wild plants, recently also birds. During my study time, I gave a lot of time and heart into facilitating the network of biosciences students and their representation in academic discussions across Universities in Germany (BuFaTa Biologie). Now, I take these experiences and value of academic community into my everyday work and the YoMos workshops I help to organise :)
