My work aims to develop novel statistical approaches for extracting information from genomic data in general, and from pathogen genomes in particular. I am also interested in using simulations to understand which and how biological processes shape the genetic diversity observed in biological populations. My other interests include multivariate analysis, spatial statistics, and phylogenetics. Most of my work is somehow related to the R software, for which I have developed or contributed several packages (see `R packages' section). In particular, I am the author of the adegenet package for R which implements a variety of tools for the statistical analysis of genetic/genomic data.
