Biography

I am a population geneticist with extensive experience in analyzing modern and ancient DNA to reconstruct past demographic events and human history. My expertise spans various data types, including SNP array and WGS data. I am proficient in programming languages such as R, Perl, awk, and bash, enabling me to efficiently process genetic data and extract meaningful insights. With a background in evolutionary genetics, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to my work. Additionally, I have hands-on experience in working with biomedical data, further enriching my skill set and allowing me to contribute to diverse research projects.
