I study the evolutionary biology of invasive species using both empirical (production of molecular and quantitative data) and methodological (e.g. Approximate Bayesian Computation and Machine Learning Random Forest) approaches. My aim is to provide insights into the ecological, historical, demographical and adaptive factors underlying biological invasions. My main biological models are the ladybeetle Harmonia axyridis and the fruit pest Drosophila suzukii.
