Interests: systems biology, evolutionary systems biology, evolutionary theory, population and quantitative genetics, evolutionary developmental biology, combinatorial optimization
Present: I am currently developing a computational framework based on ordinary differential equation models and thermodynamic principles of molecular interactions, aimed at investigating the evolvability of small regulatory networks. I am also investigating the evolutionary consequences of epistatic constraints in simple regulatory networks by means of stochastic network modeling and structural biology modeling.
Past: My previous research revolved around evolutionary systems biology of developmental regulatory networks in the Drosophila embryo, and systems biology of intracellular signaling systems underlying immune responses.
