Postdoc in population genetics

I am a postdoc with Priya Moorjani at University of California, Berkeley, USA.

My research area is population genetics, both theoretical and applied. I like to develop and apply methods for estimating population history.

Currently I am currently working on South Asian population evolutionary history and on developing local ancestry inference methods.

Before that I completed my PhD (2021) in Population Genetics from the Sorbonne University where I worked with Guillaume Achaz and Amaury Lambert at Atelier de BioInformatique at the Natural History Museum and the SMILE team at College de France, Paris, France. During my Ph.D, I developed methods to infer the recent demography of human populations leveraging polymorphisms and genetic linkage data. My PhD manuscript can be found here and the oral presentation here (in french).
