Stefany Moreno-Gámez was born in Bogotá, Colombia on January 10 of 1992. Stefany attended high school at the Alberto Merani Institute and began undergraduate studies in Mathematics at the Sergio Arboleda University during her last high school years. Afterwards, she got a scholarship to study Biology at the University of Los An-des graduating in 2011 (summa cum laude), after spend-ing two summers as an undergraduate research fellow at the Santa Fe Institute. Next, Stefany joined the Erasmus
Mundus Master Program in Evolutionary Biology with a EU-funded scholarship graduating in 2013 from the LMU Munich and the University of Groningen (summa cum laude). Finally, after taking a year off, Stefany began her PhD at the University of Groningen and ETH Zurich where she carried out the research presented in this thesis. Stefany has actively engaged in teaching since her time as an undergradu-ate student, lecturing and supervising students in more than ten different BSc and MSc courses. She has also received various awards for her research including the Unilever Research Prize and the L’Oreal-Unesco Netherlands For Women in Science Rising Talent Prize.
