Research Interests

I am interested in Bioinformatics applied in the area of evolutionary analysis at the Molecular Level. My areas of research include molecular evolution, mutation, recombination, molecular adaptation and phylogenetics. Indeed, I am also interested in the study of the evolution effects on the structure and function of biological macromolecules.

In addition, I am interested in the study of the environmental heterogeneity dynamics on the molecular diversity. I perform this study with Prof. Laurent Excoffier.
