I study molecular polymorphism of populations at the interplay between theory and data. I develop and apply statistical inference methods about evolutionary processes underlying molecular variation
Field of research
The methods of analyses that I develop or (and) apply rely primarily on the probabilistic theory of evolutionary coalescent trees. In particular, I use the benefit arising from time series data.
I ‘m interested in the impacts on molecular polymorphism of genetic exchange and evolutionary processes such as demography, population structure and natural selection.
The applications concern various organisms(drosophila, pearl millet, humans, ancient DNA from cave bear and aurochs…). For the last few years, I have been mainly focusing on viral evolution (HIV, HCV and SARS-CoV-2).
