Carolin Haug

PD Dr. Carolin Haug is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Biology, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, specializing in Evolutionary Developmental Palaeobiology. Her research explores the evolution of body organization and convergent evolution through fossil studies.

Using advanced imaging techniques like high-resolution macro-photography and digital microscopy, she conducts quantitative morphological comparisons via geometric morphometrics. This approach enables large-scale evolutionary biodiversity analyses across hundreds of millions of years.

Her work bridges evolutionary biology with paleontological data, reconstructing finely graded evolutionary scenarios by studying transitional morphologies preserved in fossils.
