Research about the following themes:
2020-2026: "HistoGenes Integrating Genetic, Archaeological & Historical Perspectives on Eastern Central Europe" (ERC Synergy Grant HistoGenes 856453). Here I am mainly responsible, in collaboration with the anthropology team-NHM, for the evaluation and interpretation of the skeletal series stored at NHMW and their genetic studies. I also supervise MSc and PhD students on the HistoGenes project at the University of Vienna. https://www.histogenes.org/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBXNy-ppOD4

2021-2024: „Kolonial Kontexts“ https://www.nhm-wien.ac.at/forschung/projekt_koltext (BMKOES funded). Debates about the colonial acquisitional context and the restitution of objects from ethnographic as well as anthropological collections have recently not only led to increased research, but have also reached the public. However, questions on colonial acquisition contexts also concern natural history collections and museums, where there is still a great need for research. I took over the leadership of the first year of the KolText project, as the focus was on human remains. Since 2022, DDr Marin Krenn (Archive for the History of Science) has been leading the KolText project. I also supervise MSc and PhD students at the University of Vienna within the KolText project.

My major concern  is to stress how much each one of the living humans is related bioculturally  to the others.
As curator of the international osteological collection, my area of responsibility is twofold:
a) to organize, inventorize, and partly digitalize information on the collections to allow efficient and informative access for biocultural research;
b) to carry out provenance research on selected parts of the collection and elaborate ways to deal with ethical issues.
c) to write dossiers for requests of repatriation. To organize repatriation ceremonies.

My personal research interest is the interaction between evolutionary, genetic and biocultural factors associated with health human societies. My challenge currently is to distill the factors that contribute to the social complexification in pre-Columbian groups who lived at the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America, through bioarcheological research with an international team of collaborators.
