My primary research interests lie in the fields of molecular evolution and systematics. I am particularly interested in evolution of microbial eukaryotes, using genomic data to reconstruct their phylogeny, assess their diversity and establish their classification. My preferred organisms are Foraminifera, the highly diverse group of single-cell eukaryotes, which fossilized tests provide the richest archives of earth history. I’m analysing genetic diversity of foraminifera and other groups of eukaryotes to better understand their evolution and help using them as bio-indicators of past and present environmental changes.
