My research has dealt with quite diverse aspects of evolutionary genetics and genomics. A main theme in my work relates to the genetic forces (both ongoing and historical) acting upon populations, and how the genetics relates to ecological and evolutionary processes. In this context, issues such as phenotypic plasticity, selective forces and epigenetic phenomena are of particular interest.
Essential ingredients in my interdisciplinary approach are genomics, bioinformatics, statistics and phylogeny, combined with evolutionary and ecological thinking. Through this, I aim to contribute to bridging the gap between organism-oriented research (evolutionary and ecological research), and genomics/molecular biology (phenotype-genotype issues).
