Biography

Emilia Jarochowska is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University, specializing in stratigraphic palaeobiology. She completed her PhD in 2015 at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, where she focused on extinction events and the physical structure of the geological record. Emilia's research primarily examines how rocks preserve information about environmental biological processes and their timescales in relation to human observation and experiments. Her innovative work involves assessing the conodonts, an extinct group of microorganisms that showcases high evolutionary rates and skeletal adaptations. She produced significant studies on the dental function of conodonts, leading to her habilitation in 2021. Currently, she leads the ERC Starting Grant project MindTheGap at Utrecht University, which quantifies the completeness of the stratigraphic record and its impact on understanding evolutionary patterns.
