Overview

I am interested in evolution within natural systems and the role of the local environment in manipulating evolution at the gene level. More recently this has led me to genomics, in which I am interested in the predictability and convergence of adaptive genomic evolution in response to common selection pressures. I am currently researching these questions as part of the Fraser Lab, investigating the convergent genomic changes in natural populations of Trinidadian guppies that have repeatedly adapted to low-predation environments from high-predation sources. My specialisms include evolutionary genetics and genomics, bioinformatics, statistics and R-coding.
