My main line of research concerns the evolution of adaptation at different time scales and the links between them. Adaptation that happens at the phenotypic level (macroevolution), can be related to adaptation happening at both the genetic and epigenetic levels (microevolution). Here, I am developing theoretical and computational models to study evolution across time scales and linking the resulting epigenetic, genetic and phenotypic changes.
