I am interested in designing and developing novel methods in phyloinformatic framework such as

• Design and development of a model based on codon evolution to generalize current models.
• The development and assessment of algorithms allowing an efficient tree reconstruction of multigene matrices presenting large amount of missing data.
• The characterization of model parameters important in the analysis of multigene data matrices.
• Development of an online database to store aligned DNA sequences and phylogenetic trees for each DNA region considered.
