Romane Rozanski has been a PhD student in the Ecosystems and Landscape ecology (ELE) group from the Department of Environmental Sciences at ETH Zurich since May 2022. Her research focuses on the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) in marine ecosystems to explore spatial variations of fish biodiversity at different temporal scales. She investigates the evolution of taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity in marine communities across different types of ecosystems in the Mediterranean Sea (tropical), Atlantic Ocean (temperate) and Arctic Ocean (polar), in areas under different levels of protection. Beside this, she is also working on the development of an innovative eDNA structure to perform autonomous sampling allowing to explore short-term temporal variations of marine biodiversity with a high resolution.
