About me

I am a Postdoc in evolutionary and population genetics. I work on methods to detect the signal of local adaptation and speciation in genomic data, and on the effect of demographic history on the efficacy of natural selection. I develop methods and theory, and apply these to population-genomic data from plants and animals, including humans.
