Welcome!

I'm Daan Speth, computational microbiologist and senior scientist at the Division of Microbial Ecology of the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science at the University of Vienna. Before landing in Vienna, I have worked as a postdoc in the Department of Biogeochemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen and the Orphan Lab at Caltech, and obtained my PhD at the Department of Microbiology at the Radboud University Nijmegen.

On this site I highlight some of my work in the lab, in the field, and on our lab server. My google scholar profile has a more complete, but somewhat dryer, overview of my work. This page will also feature periodic updates on topics that interest me and has a page filled with links that I enjoy or find useful, in science and beyond. And finally, because I really wish science was more welcoming to people from all backgrounds than it is today, there's a page featuring some thoughts on that, as well as links to helpful resources to go in the right direction.
