Profile Summary

I am a project coordinator and senior post-doc working on the DFG-funded trilateral project in Germany. I investigate the evolutionary-ecological significance of morphological divergence by statistical modeling, and genetic structure of populations in allopatric species by genotyping by sequencing (GBS) and genome analysis. I worked at Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena, Germany for 7.5 years to develop a molecular ecology platform for plant reproductive biology. I am experienced in analyzing large experimental/genome data and generating ecologically relevant models to validate hypotheses.
