Senior Lecturer in Population Genomics, University of Waikato

My research helps us to understand how species survive when their environment changes. I'm especially interested in how evolution shapes changes in DNA, how populations rapidly evolve novel genetic solutions to stress, how they become different from each other when isolated in different habitats (i.e., how biodiversity is distributed), and how we can make functional inferences from genomics/genetics research that can inform species management plans.
