Personal profile
Research
Broadly speaking, my research interests lie within the wide range of evolutionary history, from the origin of species' to their extinction. While my research career started with studying speciation in tree squirrels, it ended up at the opposite end and my current research can be simply described as the genomics of extinction. My work is based on bridging evolutionary history and future conservation actions, theoretical and applied research, extinct and endangered species. My two main model systems for studying the pre-extinction genomic processes are the woolly mammoth and African elephants.
