Mr Nicholas Freymueller
Research Associate (A) (without PhD)
School of Biological Sciences
College of Sciences
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Environment Institute's Global Change, Ecology, and Conservation Lab at Adelaide University and the Globe Institute (University of Copenhagen). I finished my PhD between the University of Adelaide and the University of Copenhagen in 2025.
I am a paleoecologist and biogeographer interested in extinction and species responses to ecological/climate changes throughout Earth's history. I often apply ecological modeling techniques to understand faunal turnover patterns and ecological response to environmental shifts.
