Research Interests

I am interested in understanding extant biodiversity through an evolutionary approach. Particularly, my work will focus on reconstructing Southeast Asian vertebrate phylogenies and study their population genetic structure using DNA sequencing. I will be working with fresh and museum samples with the ultimate goals of unveiling their speciation patterns and the human impact on their genetic structure. I will start my work on Sundamys rats, a genus of rodents endemic to Sundaland, as a group model to explore how among island and altitudinal barriers might have driven speciation in Sundaland. I will reconstruct the pyhologenetic relationships among the species within this group incorporating individuals from populations belonging to different islands.

My PhD project is related with the research on the Evolution of Biodiversity on the Sunda Shelf
