Hi there! I am an evolutionary biologist / bioinformatician, currently a post-doc at University of Bologna, Italy.

I am interested in studying how different traits evolve and the interplay between the phenotipical level and the underlying molecular one. To do so I leverage different frameworks such as phylogenetic comparative methods, RNA-seq and comparative genomeics.

Take a look at my twitter and github!

This is my scholar profile, but here’s a list of the papers I enjoyed the most:

• Reversible and dynamic evolution of complex trait

• A hidden microbial war

• Pleiotropy constrain gene modifications after trait loss

• A shared groundplan for extreme longevitiy in Metazoa

• Morphological stasis not mirrored in genome evolution

• A novel and exciting genus of Australian stick insect is described

• Shared signatures of the shift to endosymbiosis (WIP)

• A phylogenetic approach to eDNA baits design (WIP)

• Disecting the molecular groundplan of an ant-plant interaction (WIP)

Workshop I organized:

• ITA*PHY23

Societies I like and I am a member of: ESEB/SIBE/SSE/SSB/SMBE/TSA.

I also enjoy a wide range of music.
