Profile

I graduated in biomedical engineering from Politecnico di Milano - Italy (PhD, 2011). I then moved to UC Berkeley for a postdoc position with Professor Rasmus Nielsen funded by EMBO. In 2014 I returned to Europe as a research fellow with Professor Francois Balloux at UCL funded by HFSP and jointly supervised by Professor Frances Brodsky with funding from NIH. I moved to Imperial College London in 2016 and then became Lecturer in Quantitative Evolution at Silwood Park in 2017. I joined Queen Mary University of London as Senior Lecturer in Genetics in 2021. I am also an affiliated fellow at the Digital Environment Research Institute (DERI) and the Turing Institute.

In my research, I use computational methods to solve complex questions in human genetics and evolutionary biology. I am a strong advocate of inclusive education and ethical publishing, such as  Peer Community In. I often deliver outreach activities on human evolution at local communities and organise STEM-career events to secondary school pupils.
