    • Biography

    I joined Middlesex University in 2026. Before that, I held post-doc positions at TU Delft and CWI in the Netherlands, Université de Montpellier in France, and Royal Holloway, University of London. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Royal Holloway in 2013.

    My research focuses on problems in phylogenetics, the field concerned with inferring evolutionary histories from genetic data. A lot of my research involves the development of fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms, which allow NP-hard problems to be solved efficiently as long as one or more structural parameters are bounded.
