About me
I am an evolutionary and computational biologist, currently Assistant Professor (Rtdb) at the University of Trieste.
My work has been focused on:
- paleogenomics, particularly in the context of archaic hominins
- population genomics
- evolutionary modeling
Currently working on:
- I am working on developing novel methods to leverage genomic data to quantify the value of genetic resources and biodiversity
- Computational methods to link mutations and DNA repair mechanisms in the context of CRISPR
- Ancient DNA from different regions of the world
In case you are interested in any of these topics just drop me a line! I am currently looking for students motivated to address global-scale biodiversity questions by leveraging large-scale comparative genomic datasets.
Teaching
- “Evolutionary Biology” (6 CFU) for STB and STAN Bachelor students
- “Computational Genomics” (6 CFU) for the Master in Functional Genomics.
