About Me

I am deeply fascinated by the biology and diversity of reptiles. In my research, I explore their evolution, phylogeography, population genetics, and natural history, aiming to advance our understanding of these complex and often overlooked organisms. To address these questions, I employ a broad repertoire of methods, striving for integrative and comprehensive insights.
