Research interests
- Population genomics
- Microbiomes
- Phenotypic variation and local adaptation
- Evolution
I am interested in exploring the links between genetics, environment, and even microbes, in the diversification of phenotypes we observe in natural populations.
Current postdoctoral projects:
The microbe trade: bacterial exchanges among parasitic worms sharing the same host (University of Otago Research Grant); PI: Robert Poulin; AI: Fátima Jorge
Parasite microbiomes and host manipulation: who’s really pulling the strings? (Marsden 21-UOO-002); PI: Robert Poulin; AI: Fátima Jorge
Academic qualifications:
PhD - Biological Sciences, The University of Auckland, 2020.
MSc - Genetics and Evolution, State University of Campinas (Brazil), 2015.
BSc and BEdSc(SecTchg) - Biological Sciences, State University of Campinas (Brazil), 2011.
Previous projects:
