I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) - Brazil. In my research, I use genomic data (WGS) to explore the evolutionary history of the Peruvian fur seal, a hybrid lineage, examining the impact of climate change on the secondary contact with one of its parental species and the implications of this phenomenon for the species’ future. I have extensive international research experience (e.g. Finland, Norway, Madagascar and Germany). Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Finnish Museum of Natural History (LUOMUS), University of Helsinki (Finland), where I studied the phylogenetic relationships of Scarab beetles from Madagascar and surrounding islands using genomics and museomics techniques.
