Research interests:

My main interests are in evolutionary and population genetics, as well as in Bioinformatics and behavioral biology.
In my Bachelor thesis I developed a web interface to the program PATHMATRIX, called Pathmatrix online. The computation of effective distance is of great interest in the study of the interactions between landscape features and micro evolutionary processes. With Pathmatrix online, one can easily compute least-cost distances between entered sample locations.
In my Master thesis I developed an R interface for the graphical display of Arlequin outputs, which is called R-lequin. It add value and help interpreting results from large Arlequin analysis. Further I developed a new Population Genetics Data format (PGD), which should facilitate the transfer of data among several population genetic software packages. A also wrote the software program PGDSpider. It is a file format converter and facilitates the exchange of data between different population genetics applications and file formats. PGDSpider, as the name indicates, uses the new data format PGD (Population Genetics Data). It is very easy to use because it consists of a simple and self explaining graphical user interface.
