Research Interest

I am developing evolutionary and epidemiological models in order to address questions in pathogen evolution, species evolution and their interactions. Currently, I am very interested in:

• Estimating epidemiological parameters from molecular data using phylogenetic methods
• Infering past diversification processes based on species phylogenies
• Improving phylogenetic tree inference by implementing novel epidemiological and macroevolutionary models into the Beast software package
