Short CV
Ute Koch has studied biology at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. She obtained her doctor’s degree in 1991 with a work about the impact of the release of entomopathogenic nematodes on the soil fauna of various biotopes. Then she worked for half a year in a publishing house on correcting medical publications. After a short-time job at a bureau doing environmental impact studies, she stayed for two and a half years at the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt, preparing exhibitions and looking after the entomological collections. Since then, she’s been working self-employed on various subjects, for example doing environmental impact studies with the focus on carabid beetles, preparing an index for the “Fauna of Saudi-Arabia” and co-operating with the Julius-Kühn-Institute in Darmstadt (now Dossenheim) in studies on insect diseases (e. g., codling moth, cockchafers, earwigs).
Since 2015, she’s employed at the Department of Biology at the Technical University of Darmstadt in the Bureau of Student Affairs, concerned with administrative work and teaching students in biodiversity and phylogeny of animals.
In 2010, Ute joined the publication commission, following Horst Bathon, and is responsible for the editing of the IOBC-WPRS Bulletins.
