معرفی
Mario Schädel is a Researcher at the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Paleoecology within the Faculty of Science at the University of Tübingen. His work bridges Palaeoanthropology and Biostatistics, focusing on the fossil record of insects and crustaceans, particularly isopods. He specializes in cutting-edge imaging techniques (e.g., high magnification macrophotography, multi-light imaging) and advocates for free/open-source software and Linux-based systems.
- PhD in Biology (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, 2022)
- M.Sc. in Geoecology (University of Tübingen, 2017)
- B.Sc. in Biology (University of Tübingen, 2016)
His research spans paleobiology, fossil arthropod systematics, and evolutionary ecology. He investigates ontogenetic development captured in amber, parasitic life habits in crustaceans, and the origins of subterranean species. Current projects include IT infrastructure management, 3D printing, and teaching within the Senckenberg Centre.
Recent publications highlight his expertise in isopod evolution (2025), amber-preserved fossils (2021), and imaging technology applications (2024). His work integrates digital rendering and phylogenetic assessment to analyze morphological data.
- Magna cum laude doctoral certificate
Mario maintains the Imaging Lab’s infrastructure and promotes open-source tools for paleontological research. His technical skills include Linux-based systems, macrophotography, and computational workflows for fossil analysis.
