Research focus:
The scope of my research includes population and conservation genomics, comparative phylogeography, and molecular taxonomy of woody species. Currently, I am focusing on adaptive genomics and the role of hybridisation as a mechanism enhancing the adaptive potential of forest trees in the face of climate change. To investigate this, I selected two closely related species, Fagus orientalis and F. sylvatica, which hybridize in a narrow contact zone in southeastern Europe.
In my research, I integrate genomics and ecological approaches with advanced spatial modelling techniques to explore how forest trees respond to global climate change.

Keywords:
evolutionary biology, hybridisation, landscape genomics, local adaptation, phylogeography
