Research interest

My expertise is in forest genetics. My research projects address: (1) the domestication history of tropical fruit tree species using genetic approaches; (2) the conservation and sustainable management of forest tree species that provide timber and non-timber forest products; (3) the evolutionary history of tropical tree species, with a specific focus on the impact of past climate changes; (4) the reproductive biology of tropical tree species and the development of recommendations for sustainable management practices.
