I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (Cornell University) in Leonardo Campagna's group. As an evolutionary biologist, my interest lies in comprehending the ways in which evolution drives the formation of species and the differentiation of populations to bring about biodiversity. To explore this, I utilize a range of genomic tools and bioinformatic techniques, including the analysis of whole genomes belonging to multiple species/populations, analyzing demography and population structure, and implementing methods such as phylogenomics, species delimitation methods, Genome-Environment Association analysis (GEA), and Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). My area of interest predominantly encompasses the early stages of diversification within avian systems. Specifically, I am keen on investigating the local adaptation process and how genomic DNA sequences variations result in distinct phenotypes, such as variations in morphology, coloration, and behaviors using avian species as model systems. Overall, my work focuses on uncovering the mechanisms underlying the process of evolution and its role in generating and maintaining biodiversity.
