Dr. Simon Jungblut is a marine ecologist and zoologist. After
completing a bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry at the
University of Bremen, Germany, he studied the international program
Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Marine Biodiversity and
Conservation at the Universities of Bremen, the University of
Oviedo, Spain, and Ghent University, Belgium. Afterwards, he
completed a PhD project entitled: “Ecology and ecophysiology on
invasive and native decapod crabs in the southern North Sea” at the
University of Bremen in cooperation with the Alfred Wegener
Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in
Bremerhaven and was awarded the doctoral title in natural sciences
at the University of Bremen in December 2017. Since 2015, Simon is
actively contributing to the YOUMARES conference series. After
hosting some conference sessions, he is the main organizer of the
scientific program since 2017.
Dr. Viola Liebich is a biologist from Berlin, who worked on
invasive tunicates for her Diploma thesis at the Alfred Wegener
Institute Sylt. With a PhD scholarship by the International Max
Planck Research School for Maritime Affairs, Hamburg, and after her
thesis work at the Institute for Hydrobiology and Fisheries
Science, Hamburg, and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea
Research, Texel, the Netherlands, she finished her thesis "Invasive
Plankton: Implications of and for ballast water management" in
2013. For three years, until 2015, Viola Liebich worked for a
project on sustainable brown shrimp fishery and stakeholder
communication at the WWF Center for Marine Conservation and started
her voluntary YOUMARES work one year later. In 2017 she also became
elected member of the DGM steering group. She is currently working
as a self-employed consultant on marine and maritime management
(envio maritime).
Dr. Maya Bode-Dalby is a marine biologist, who accomplished her
Bachelor of Science in biology at the University of Göttingen,
Germany, and her Master of Science in Marine Biology at the
University of Bremen, Germany. Thereafter, she completed her PhD
thesis entitled „Pelagic biodiversity and ecophysiology of copepods
in the eastern Atlantic Ocean: Latitudinal and bathymetric aspects“
at the University of Bremen in cooperation with the Alfred Wegener
Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in
Bremerhaven and the German Center for Marine Biodiversity Research
(DZMB) at the Senckenberg am Meer in Wilhelmshaven. She received
her doctorate in natural sciences at the University of Bremen in
March 2016. Since 2016, Maya is a board member of the German
Society for Marine Research (DGM) and actively contributes to the
YOUMARES conference series as organizer of the scientific program.
