About

I am a researcher in conservation genomics at Concordia University, supervised by Professor Dylan Fraser (https://dylanfraser.com/). My current research examines population genomics in brook trout, combining neutral and adaptive genetic diversity, genomic offset modelling across environmental and microgeographic gradients, and the genomic effects of harvest-induced evolution.
