I am interested in genomes and evolution. Currently, I am an Algorithm Development Expert at SOPHiA GENETICS developing new approaches to analyse genomic data in the context of clinical sequencing, especially oncology and rare/heritable disease diagnostics. I am also still leading the final stages of a research project at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern, Switzerland, funded by the Ambizione grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
 
All the diversity of life, including of our own species, is the product of evolution, whereby DNA sequences carry heritable information across generations. My main focus is on developing methods and software for DNA sequence analysis. Additionally, my academic interests, broadly within the fields of Evolutionary and Population Genomics, include fundamental genetic processes such as mutation and recombination, the evolutionary history of life - in particular the spectacular African cichlid fishes.
