Research interests
My purpose is to better understand the mechanisms and processes of population evolution under strong directional selection. During my master’s dissertation I have been dedicated in the study of population divergence, historical demographics and selection of barley net blotch disease agent, Pyrenophora teres. I utilized bioinformatic tools to explore genomic information obtained from isolates in different continents.
I previously worked as a Bachelor’s student at the Microbiology lab at Cyprus University of Technology. I was involved in projects focusing on the identification and phylogeny of plant pathogenic and free living nematodes at Cypriot farmlands. Both my bachelor's and master’s studies reflect my age-long ambition to explore the potential of the forces that shape the life on earth to improve the quality of life.
