Présentation
Research focus
My research focuses on how human genetic diversity is shaped by various factors like cultural practices, migrations, and demographic shifts.
During my PhD, I studied the genetic makeup of Inner Asian populations, examining autosomal, Y chromosomal and mitochondrial markers, alongside ethnological data.
My postdoctoral work at the University of Bern further explores these themes by reconstructing the genomic origins of the world’s first farmers through demographic inference, based on neolithic whole genomes.
In addition to human data analysis, I employ computational simulations to investigate the genomic footprints of population structure and migration.
