Dr Ingo Burghardt
Dr Ingo Burghardt studied biology at Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany), graduating with a Master of Science (2002) and a PhD in zoology (2006). Dr Burghardt held postdoc and lecturer positions in various international research institutions and universities, mainly in Europe and Australia. Dr Burghardt worked at the Australian Museum from 2010 and is now a Research Associate.
Dr Burghardt's research focus was initially on nudibranchs (Mollusca), and later extended to other marine invertebrates (octocorals, polychaetes, jellyfish and crustaceans) as well as terrestrial and freshwater invertebrates (Australian land and freshwater snails and crustaceans).
Research interests are: ecology, ecophysiology, diversity, taxonomy, phylogeography and evolution of marine, freshwater and terrestrial invertebrates. Symbiotic systems in marine invertebrates. Deep sea biology. Coral reef ecology and physiology. Impact of climate change on marine organisms, symbiotic organisms, marine ecosystems and invasive species.
Research methods: molecular biology methods (DNA extraction, PCR, qPCR, cloning, SSCP), phylogenetic analysis, histology, electron microscopy (SEM/TEM), digital imaging, field surveys, PAM fluorometry.
Qualifications
Master of Science (Biology), PhD (Zoology).
