Research Description
I am a population geneticist and evolutionary biologist, currently working on my PhD project. Currently, my research is focusing on Scandinavian mammals after the last ice age, such as brown bears (Ursus arctos) and lemmings (Lemmus lemmus). The aim of the project is to investigate postglacial recolonisation events, and how possible founder effects and bottlenecks have shaped the genomic history and population structure of those species. To achieve this, I am generating and analysing ancient, historical, and modern mitochondrial and whole genomes.
