Research Interests

I have a keen interest in the dynamics of hybridization and its implications for conservation. My research centers on understanding how hybridization influences genetic diversity and species persistence, particularly in at-risk populations. By integrating molecular tools and bioinformatics, I aim to uncover how ongoing genetic exchange affects populations, shaping their genetic structure, evolutionary trajectories, and long-term viability. My work contributes to developing effective conservation strategies that protect biodiversity and ensure the survival of species in the face of ongoing change.
