About Me
Hi!
I am a bioinformatician and postdoctoral researcher specialized in plants and forest trees ecological and evolutionary genomics.
I am interested in population genetics, landscape genomics, quantitative genetics, ecology, evolution, data science and bioinformatics. I am also a cat enthusiast and an avid combat sports fan and practitioner.
I grew up in a small town on the west coast of Italy. However, the majority of my adult life has been centered around London, UK, where I completed all of my university studies.
I earned my PhD at Queen Mary University of London (2022) in Prof. Richard Bugg's group, part of a joint collaboration between QMUL and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. In my PhD I have worked on British oak species (Q. robur and Q. petraea) and Asian White Birch (B. platyphylla).
I am now a Postdoctoral Associate in Sam Yeaman Lab at the University of Calgary in Alberta (Canada). I am currently working on two projects:
- Convergent global adaptation across plant species.
- Fine scale local adaptation in interior spruce (P. glauca, P. engelmannii and their hybrids) .
