My research focuses on ecology and evolution with a special emphasis on modelling and simulating population dynamics.
My research focuses on ecology and evolution with a special emphasis on modelling and simulating population dynamics.
A central question of my research is the evolutionary response of species to environmental disturbances that influences new breeding overlaps between species or populations, breaking their independent evolution. This particularly concerns the genomic impact of hybridization, invasive species, and climate change on the the past and future evolution of biodiversity.
I have specialised in the development of mathematical and statistical models, implemented to empirical observations in evolution, ecology, and conservation biology. A major subject of my research is applying and developing new bioinformatic tools to understand the genetic-phenotype-environmental interactions at the population and individual base levels, taking into account temporal and spatially explicit attributes.
