Research interests
I am a theoretical biologist working to develop models that account for complex genetic processes impacting the trajectories of species evolution. I am also interested in explicitly integrating life-history traits (self-fertilisation, seed-dormancy, life-span, etc.) to understand how such traits affect selection and adaptation.
