Research Interests
I work on the demography and genomics of invasion with hybridization, under the supervision of Nicolas Bierne (ISEM, Montpellier). Combining natural sampling, lab crosses, and modelling, I aim to study the demographic and genomic parameters that can shape the outcome of secondary contacts.
