Brandon Samuel Whitley is a PhD Fellow at the Natural History Museum Denmark, University of Copenhagen, focusing on Arctic plant diversity and pollination networks. His research employs molecular computational tools to unveil biodiversity patterns and species interactions in high-latitude systems affected by climate change. He is particularly interested in plant-pollinator interaction networks, leveraging DNA metabarcoding techniques to create bipartite networks that reveal the structure and diversity of these interactions. Additionally, Brandon's work involves curating mass data from digitized herbarium specimens to inform biodiversity studies in Greenland. He aims to generate significant research output that facilitates conservation applications, ensuring awareness and support for Arctic biodiversity. Brandon's academic journey includes a dual MSc from prestigious institutions across Europe, and he is actively seeking postdoctoral opportunities upon completing his PhD fellowship in 2025.
