I am a Wallenberg Academy Fellow at the Department of Geological Sciences and the Centre for Palaeogenetics, where I use ancient DNA to understand the natural world over the past one million years.

I am particularly interested in molecular and computational approaches, and how best to leverage these to understand the ecology and evolutionary history of past species and populations of animals and plants.

My recent research focuses on using ancient DNA directly from environmental sources (soils, mud, etc) to reconstruct past ecological communities and their responses to past drivers of change.

I am also interested in general ancient DNA methods development and understanding past (mega)fauna based on tissue-derived paleogenomic information.
