About me

I work on evolutionary and conservation genomics within the Swedish Arctic Fox Project in collaboration with The Centre for Palaeogenetics. 

My research interests involve harnessing whole-genomes and field-based data collection to inform conservation management. I have a particular fascination with Arctic ecosystems as a natural laboratory and how population dynamics change over long  timeframes. 

My current research delves into the evolutionary history and genomic divergence  of arctic foxes, specifically, using the arctic fox as a model species to investigate genomic  signatures of past and present selective processes.
