Expertise and Research Interests

I am a population geneticist with interests in evolutionary genetics and in molecular evolution. I am experienced in biostatistics and Drosophila genetics. I have experience in developing mathematical models in population genetics, particularly in studying the conventions between the genetics and ecology of populations.


Other Expertise

I serve as an expert witness in the use of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fingerprinting to identify humans, usually in criminal trials.
