Biography
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Ancient Genomics and Evolution group (Prof. Burbano's group). By taking advantage of combined datasets from contemporary, historic and ancient genomes, I study different evolutionary forces that shape the genetic history of a diversity of organisms and populations. I use phylogenomic methods as well as population genomic approaches.
