Dr. Tanja Vukov

Tanja Vukov, a principal research fellow, is an evolutionary biologist specializing in the evolution of biological diversity, encompassing everything from the process of speciation to the evolution of form and function. She brings over two decades of experience in research spanning various fields like ecology, biodiversity, evolution, morphology, nature conservation, reproductive biology, and behavior of amphibians and reptiles. Her current research focuses on uncovering how phenotypic and physiological variations are associated with climate, life-history traits, and anthropogenic impact. Of particular note is Tanja's dedication to studying wetland ecosystems, which are very vulnerable to the effects of climate change and human activities. Tanja utilizes a range of empirical approaches, modeling, lab experimentation, field monitoring, and quantitative methods in data analysis at different levels of integration. Tanja Vukov has extensive knowledge and experience in the field of biostatistics, which is reflected not just in joint scientific papers with colleagues from different fields of biology but also from the field of agriculture and medicine. Official confirmation of her expertise (manipulation and analysis of large amounts of data) is a reward Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Microsoft Azure (2015, 2016) which is awarded to top technological experts who selflessly share their knowledge with the IT community.
