Biography
I am mostly interested in exploring the processes driving the changes in accumulation and spatial distribution of species over time. In particular I look at how phylogenetic trees inform us about those processes. To answer some of my research questions, I develop the necessary computing tools. These approaches are based either on likelihood calculations or forward simulations. All realms of life are fascinating to me: my research interests includes birds, bats, palm trees, archeobacteria, butterflies, damselflies, amphipods, cichlids, and water beetles. I have a growing interest in building and programming electronics to collect data or tackle problems in our communities.
