Evolutionary biology & artificial intelligence

I develop computational methods to study evolutionary processes using phylogenetic trees and empirical data, from species diversification to viral phylodynamics.

Research interests

My research

I use computational and empirical approaches to study evolutionary biology, with a primary focus on phylogenetic trees, diversification and phylodynamics.

01

Diversification dynamics

Investigating the processes that shape species diversification and distribution through time.

02

Artificial intelligence

Developing novel computational methods to model evolutionary and diversification scenarios.

03

Phylogenetics & phylodynamics

Extracting information from phylogenetic trees to study evolutionary history and the transmission dynamics of viruses.

Current work

Projects

My work primarily uses phylogenetic trees to study evolutionary processes, from species diversification to the transmission dynamics of viruses.

Inference from phylogenetic trees

I develop and evaluate computational methods to extract evolutionary information from phylogenetic trees. My work spans diversification dynamics, birth-death models and viral phylodynamics, alongside broader collaborations in evolutionary biology.
