Janneke Hille Ris Lambers, originally from the Netherlands, has a diverse professional background influenced by her experiences in Thailand and the Philippines. She received her Bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia and completed her PhD at Duke University in North Carolina. Her academic journey includes postdoctoral positions at the University of Minnesota and the University of California in Santa Barbara. Janneke initiated her independent career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington, Seattle, before transitioning back to Europe in 2020 to join ETH Zürich. Her research focuses on the forces shaping the structure of plant communities, particularly the abiotic and biotic implications of global change on community assembly. She employs long-term monitoring, field and greenhouse experiments, and statistical modeling to address critical ecological questions. Her current projects explore topics such as the costs and benefits of mast seeding in co-occurring forest trees, quantifying the biotic and abiotic factors influencing seedling regeneration niches among tree species, understanding the climatic drivers affecting the phenology of Alpine wildflowers, and assessing the predictability of community shifts in relation to climatic niches.
