Vita

I am interested in genomics and population genetics to help future conservation efforts for threatened species, as well as those that aren’t (yet). In addition to that I am also interested in comparative genomics and speciation. 
Currently I am working mainly with giraffe genomes and population genetics to further characterize subspecies in Southern Africa. This involves interpopulational gene flow analyses, as well as intrapopulational diversity measures.
