Research Description
I am a population geneticist and evolutionary biologist, currently working on my PhD project. My research is focusing on the recolonisation of Scandinavian mammals, such as Brown bears, lemmings, and moose, after the last ice age. Here, I aim to investigate how possible founder effects and (more recent) bottlenecks have shaped the genomic history and modern-day population structure of those species. To achieve this, I am generating and analysing ancient, historical, and modern genomes.
