Research interests

I am an evolutionary biologist particularly interested in population genetics. I have been working on different organisms (humans, flies, coral reef fishes etc..), my main focus being how genetic markers can be exploited to reconstruct demography of population and species. I acknowledge the importance of developing and applying models taking into account the fact that species are dynamic entities and are, most of the time, structured into sub-populations exchanging migrants.
