Overview
I am an Envision PhD student interested in understanding evolutionary processes across populations and species, at phenotypic and genotypic levels.
Qualifications
- MSc: Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics
Queen Mary University of London, - BSc: Biological Sciences (Evolutionary Biology)
University of Edinburgh,
Research Interests
For my PhD, I aim to understand better the causes and consequences of novel adaptation. To do this I am investigating repeated adaptation of Silene uniflora (Sea campion) populations to heavy-metal contaminated soils across the UK.
I aim to understand the role of plasticity in facilitating novel adaptation in S. uniflora, as well as whether hybridisation has intorduced novel variation during novel adaptation. I also aim to investigate the population history of parallel adaptation in S. uniflora. 聽I will integrate both genomic and experimental data to help investigate these topics.
Previous
For my Masters dissertation, I worked with researchers from Queen Mary University and Kew Royal Botanic Gardens, to study the genomics of ash tree responses to ash dieback disease. I used signals of convergent evolution between multiple pairs of ash species to detect potential loci associated with resistance to the disease.
