I am a computational biologist with an interest in evolutionary biology and population genomics. Together with multidisciplinary and international collaborators, I am studying the recent history of humans and domestic animals in Europe, using large genomic datasets from modern and ancient populations analyzed with state-of-the-art computational tools. My group is also actively developing such open-access tools that are widely used by the research community.
