About Me
I am a principal investigator in the Institute of Biology of the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, funded by the SNF Ambizione grant. I am interested in applying mathematical modelling and computer simulations to study problems in ecology and evolutionary biology. I am particularly enthusiastic about modelling the roles of sexual selection and sexual conflict in animal dispersal and life history evolution, and applying various mathematical tools to model microbial (e.g. bacteria-fungi) interactions.
Keywords of my research interest: Sexual selection; Dispersal; Sexual dimorphism; Life history; Evolutionary game theory; Environmental stochasticity; Microbial interactions; Local adaptation; Climate change.
