Research Interests

Katja Seltmann is presently the Project Manager for the Plants, Herbivores and Parasitoids: A Model System for the Study of Tri-Trophic Associations Project (AMNH PIs Toby Schuh and Christine Johnson). Her interests are in collection digitization, biodiversity informatics, ontology, data visualization, Hymenoptera systematics and morphology, data discovery in digitized collection records, and art/science collaborations. Her background is in Hymenoptera systematics additional with training in web development and database programming.
