Profile

Research Interests

My research focuses on understanding how biodiversity arises and is maintained in marine invertebrates in the context of a changing environment, at the species, population, and individual levels. My work primarily focuses on mollusks, but I also work on other marine invertebrate taxa, such as scleractinian corals. To investigate the evolutionary processes driving marine biodiversity, I combine underwater fieldwork and museum collection samples. My analytical approaches include comparative phylogenomic, population genomics, functional genomics, and molecular ecology.
