Summary
My primary research interests are to understand the underlying genetic mechanisms that allow plant populations to face global change and apply molecular tools to the conservation and restoration of the biodiversity. I am particularly interested in the forces shaping the genetic diversity in plant species such as the gene flow among plant populations and the local adaptation to variable abiotic and biotic environments. My research combines molecular tools, statistical modeling, GIS tools, and field work. In my research program, I work at the interface between population genetics, evolutionary biology, and landscape ecology.
