Research interests top
My research interests are in methods for population genetics and evolutionary genomics, and I develop computational and statistical approaches for the inference of population structure, demographic history or local adaptation from genomic data. Those approaches are based on MCMC, machine learning and approximate Bayesian approaches, and include geographic or environmental data. Their goal is to provide improved statistical procedures under equilibrium and non-equilibrium processes in evolution. I also study coalescent theory, and the mathematical properties of genealogies and the shape of phylogenetic trees.
My group distributes the computer programs TESS and LFMM which compute ancestry coefficients and detect local adaptation using multilocus genotypes and geographical or environmental variables.
