Fabian Deister studied biology (B.Sc, M.Sc) at the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg. In his master’s program, he devoted himself to the identification of various arthropod species using DNA barcoding and next generation sequencing. His master's thesis dealt with the molecular species delimitation and demarcation of marine decapods from Iceland (Molecular species delimitation of Icelandic decapods). He moved to Munich for his doctorate. Fabian uses molecular methods to analyze the taxonomy of sponges. His main interest is the question of what genomically defines a species within sponges. To this end, he is looking for new markers for the molecular taxonomy of sponges and uses, among other things, the established model organism Tethya wilhelma (Porifera, Demospongiae). His work is part of the DFG priority program SPP 1991 (Taxon-OMICS: New Approaches to the Discovery and Naming of Species and Biodiversity). From February 2019 to February 2020, he was one of the two co-speakers, since 2020 he has been the speaker of the Young Systematists (JuSys).

Franziska Patzold studied Biology at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and wrote her master’s thesis on resistance genetics in Hordeum vulgare (barley) at the Julius Kühn Institute – Federal Research Institute for Cultivated Plants. She identified resistances in a NAM population (nested association mapping) against Puccinia hordei (barley leaf rust).
She is currently pursuing her PhD at the Senckenberg Natural History Collections Dresden, where she works as a research associate at the Museum of Zoology. Her research focuses on developing a methodology for utilizing museum specimens for next-generation sequencing (NGS). Using this approach, she aims to resolve the phylogeny, hybridization, and speciation within the Hyles centralasiae species complex by integrating phenotypic data.
Franziska Patzold’s research interests include population genomics and phenomics, as well as their application to practical research questions. Since February 2019, she has supported the Young Systematists (JuSys) as a co-speaker.

Lara-Sophie Dey studied Biology at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. For her master’s thesis, she conducted a revision of the North African grasshopper genus Thalpomena, combining morphological, molecular, and biogeographical methods to differentiate species and understand their evolution.
Since 2019, she has been pursuing her PhD at the Centrum für Naturkunde at the University of Hamburg, where she researches the convergent evolution of band-winged grasshoppers (Oedipodinae). Her work involves next-generation sequencing (NGS) to establish a stable phylogeny of the genus, as well as morphometric and ecological niche modeling (ENM) to analyze similarities among convergently evolved species.
She is a PhD fellow of the Heinrich Böll Foundation. Since 2020, she has supported the Young Systematists (JuSys) as a co-speaker.

Sven Rossel studied Biology (B.Sc., M.Sc.) at the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg. He completed his PhD on species identification of harpacticoid copepods in the North Sea at the Senckenberg Marine Branch at the German Centre for Marine Biodiversity Research (DZMB) in Wilhelmshaven. In addition to standard mtDNA barcoding methods, he worked with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to investigate whether species could also be identified using protein fingerprinting.
As a postdoctoral researcher, he now leads the Proteome Laboratory at the DZMB, where he aims to apply protein fingerprint-based species identification to other taxonomic groups and develop supporting methodologies.
Sven Rossel has been a member of the Young Systematists (JuSys) since 2012 and has served as a co-speaker since 2020.
