Evolutionary Biology | Population Genetics | Metapopulation Ecology | Host-Parasite Interactions | Genome Evolution | Environmental Science
I am a postdoctoral researcher in evolutionary biology at the University of Basel, and I am affiliated with the Department of Environmental Sciences, Zoology.
My research focusses on the evolution of metapopulations, i.e., interconnected populations with extinction-(re)colonization dynamics. Specifically, I am interested in the genomic consequences of metapopulation dynamics.
My undergraduate research involved examining and disentangling the effects of population structure, demographic history, geophylogeny, transmission mode, and host-parasite interactions on the genomic diversity of microsporidia, obligate intracellular parasites phylogenetically associated with the fungi.
