I am fascinated by the mechanisms of speciation. In particular, I am interested in the determinants of genetic diversity: selection, introgression, mutations, and life-history and ecological traits, as well as the role of the genomic architecture in these processes. My aim is to link molecular principles with applied conservation work.
