I work in the Herpetology Department and am currently doing research on blind snakes to better understand their systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny and morphology. Only little is known about this group to date. I mainly examine specimens from LIB collections, but also in collaboration with other museums. The main focus lies on the cranial morphology blind snakes.
