I am a theoretical population geneticist broadly interested in stochastic models for the effects of demography, recombination, and selection on the distribution of genealogical histories both within and among species. 

My current research focuses on the inclusion of natural selection in the generating function framework for calculating likelihoods in the coalescent.  

My research focuses on developing and applying computational and mathematical methods to population genomics in order to uncover the evolutionary histories of species and populations. I am particularly interested in demographic and selection inference. Currently, I am developing generative AI approaches in population genomics, for example to learn the space of plausible demographic histories and discover novel alternative histories for species.

As a conservation geneticist, I am broadly interested in how we can use genetic methods and analyses to inform conservation measures in the U.K. My PhD is investigating using museomics as a tool to understand extinctions and inform re-introductions of UK butterflies. This involves close cooperation with Restore, a restoration and ecological consultancy based in Devon, to implement my scientific findings. 

I am interested in understanding how sex chromosomes and structural variants evolve in butterflies.
