I am Associate Professor of Genetics. My research focuses on the use of molecular markers and bioinformatic tools to address questions in evolutionary genetics, population genomics, patterns of geographic differentiation, biological invasions. I am part of the teaching committee for the Degree in Biological Sciences and the Master in Bioinformatics and data science.
