Research Interests

simulans cladeI am interested in the genetic basis of reproductive isolation, specifically prezygotic isolating barriers that cause sexual isolation between species. I would like to identify genes that cause sexual isolation and to understand the evolutionary forces that shape differences between species.

My current work focuses on the genetic basis of sexual isolation between members of the Drosophila simulans clade.
