Introduction
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Christopher Scharer at Emory University. I am interested in answering a broad range of biological questions using -omic sequencing data, from population genetics to biodiversity monitoring and immunology.

Description
- During my PhD, I used genomics and experimental approaches (resurrection ecology, reciprocal transplants) to study micro-evolutionary responses (selection, gene flow, drift) of non-model species at the base of freshwater foodwebs (lake copepod: Leptodiaptomus minutus; river snail: Amnicola limosus) facing anthropogenic impacts (invasive predator, historical acidification, climate change).

The persistence of populations facing severe environmental disturbance can be enabled by natural selection on heritable phenotypic variation - a process known as evolutionary rescue. Examples of evolutionary rescue have been documented in wild populations. Still, few studies have investigated the combination of factors (demographic, genetic, and en...
Biological invasions have caused the loss of freshwater biodiversity worldwide. The interplay between adaptive responses and demographic characteristics of populations impacted by invasions is expected to be important for their resilience, but the interaction between these factors is poorly understood. The freshwater gastropod Amnicola limosus is n...

Biological invasions are occurring at increasing rates since the onset of the twentieth century. While ports and marinas have been identified as a major point-of-entry for the spread of marine non-indigenous species (NIS), their relationships with wild habitats however needs further scrutiny. We had the rare opportunity to monitor the real-time col...
