I trained as a geneticist and biological anthropologist before my doctoral degree in palaeogenomics of Neolithic and Bronze Age populations of Europe. I have extensive research experience on the development and use of bioinformatic tools and pipelines for the analysis of ancient population genomics, specifically targeting ancestry determination, phenotypic assessment, admixture simulations, and societal organisation using kinship. I have also been involved in the development of ancient DNA laboratory methodologies and protocols for bone sampling that have become standard in the field.
