Michaela Medzihorská
Doctoral Researcher - Population genetics
Climate change accelerates biological invasions by promoting habitat disturbances and facilitating hybridization between previously isolated species, thereby driving rapid adaptation. Modern genomic and simulation models in population genetics offer powerful tools to track, predict, and manage these invasive dynamics, providing critical insights to control invasions and safeguard biodiversity in a rapidly changing world.

Specialization

Forestry, population genetics, simulations and biological invasions.

Educational & Professional Background

Education

  • · Master’s in Forestry at the Czech University of Life Sciences, 2024

Professional Experience

  • · Technician for EVA4.0 project at the Czech University of Life Sciences, 2020 – 2023

At Forest Risk Research Centre

As a member of the Forest Invasion Synthesis Centre, Prague (FISC), she contributes to analyses of species discoveries and discovery effort. She is also compiling a database to investigate the relationship between phylogenetic distance and herbivory on non-native trees.

Beyond Science

I love running, sundaes, sad music, bogs and my little son.
