Hello there! My name is Dimitrios - Georgios Kontopoulos and I am an evolutionary biologist, mainly focusing on how temperature changes influence biological systems.
I started my studies with a BSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics from the Democritus University of Thrace, followed by an MRes in Biodiversity Informatics and Genomics from Imperial College London. I then pursued a PhD degree at Imperial College London (primarily supervised by Samraat Pawar), in which I examined likely constraints on thermal adaptation, mainly across microbial species.
I am currently an EMBO postdoctoral fellow at the Hiller group of LOEWE-TBG, investigating the genomic, physiological, and ecological drivers of dormancy across birds and mammals.
