Personal profile
Research
I'm an evolutionary biologist passionate about conservation and speciation. I work on uncovering the genomic consequences of population collapse for population viability and extinction risk. I lead projects using (paleo)genomics, fitness data and simulations of endangered species that have narrowly avoided extinction in the last few decades. At Lund, I work on FORMAS funded project on the conservation genomics of different endangered bird species.
