Methods in molecular phylogenetics
Molecular phylogenetics is a standard tool in modern biology that informs the evolutionary history of genes, organisms, and traits, and as such is important in a wide range of disciplines from medicine to palaeontology. I am broadly interested in methodological issues underlying phylogenetic inference such as model selection, and long branch attraction. Further, I have developed a user friendly programme for analysing the output Bayesian phylogenetic software.
