The first time I've learnt about the theory of evolution, it absolutely blew my mind and I've decided that I want to become an evolutionary biologist to understand how it works. More than a decade later, I hold a doctorate degree in Systematic Zoology and Evolution. However, now I know that I could spend a lifetime trying to understand evolution and end up with more questions than I started with. But I also know that this limitless source of curiosity is something I very much enjoy.

Broadly speaking, my research interests lie within the wide range of evolutionary history, from the origin of species' to their extinction. I am particularly interested in population dynamics and conservation genomics of extinct and endangered species, and my latest research has focused on studying genetic processes in small, fragmented, and isolated populations, using the woolly mammoth and mountain gorillas as model systems.

I am currently a postdoc at the Bioinformatics Centre at UCPH, working with Hans Siegismund and the Population Genetics group.
