Computational Biology and Population Genomics - CoBiG2

Past Recent Members

I received a Ph.D. in Forest Genetics and Breeding from the Federal University of Paraná Brasil in 2014 and I am currently on a Post-doctoral research at Computational Biology & Population Genomics Group - CoBig2 of cE3c. The research project I am developing is Detecting signs of natural selection throughout environmental gradients in holm oak (Quercus rotundifolia Lam.). My research focuses on plant breeding, forestry, forest conservation and restoration and tropical forest ecology. For many years I have been involved in forestry, seedling and forest  restoration.

My current research is driven by three overarching objectives: genetic diversity, population structure and adaptation to environmental factors.
