My research aims at unravelling the evolutionary processes and eco-evolutionary interactions that drive the origin and maintenance of species. I currently work as a post-doctoral fellow in Astrid Groot's lab at the University of Amsterdam. My work focusses on speciation genetics and covers a wide range of topics including the genetic architecture of sexual communication, population genomics, host-microbiome co-evolution, and the predictability of genetic evolution. Read more about my current and past research on the nematode C. elegans, moths, crickets, and herpetofauna in the Research section of my website.
