Dr. Paulina Jimenez-Huidobro

Paulina completed her B.Sc. and MSc in Biology at the Universidad de Chile, and subsequently obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Alberta, Canada. She started at the University of Bonn as an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow.
Her research focuses on evolution, morphology, systematics and phylogeny of aquatically adapted squamates, specifically mosasauroids.
