Research interests
My main interest is focused on developing and applying new methods and pipelines to study evolutionary processes. I have been working on analyses for detecting positive selection and continuing my research on Bayesian timetree inference with molecular and morphological datasets (with both extant and fossil species). My ultimate goal is to ensure that all the computational tools that I develop as part of the projects I am involved in are well documented, user-friendly, and reproducible.
