Research area

My research primarily focuses on understanding how natural populations of various species adapt to rapid environmental changes. I utilize a combination of quantitative genetic theory, genomic data, and field experiments to predict adaptive traits and investigate the adaptive potential of populations. I aim to deepen our understanding of adaptive evolution in response to climate change and contribute to the development of conservation strategies that enhance the resilience of natural populations. Beyond natural ecosystems, the identification of well-adapted individuals has implications for agriculture and forestry, where breeding for climate resilience is increasingly important.
