I am currently a Senior Research Associate in the Fuller Evolutionary Biology Program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (Cornell University). I am an Argentine evolutionary geneticist interested in understanding how evolution shapes the genomes of different populations and species to generate biodiversity. I use genomic tools and bioinformatic approaches, such as obtaining and analyzing DNA sequences from entire genomes of many individuals of different species, to study the evolution of avian systems, generally in the early stages of diversification. I am particularly interested in exploring how changes in genomic DNA sequences lead to differences in the phenotypes (e.g., morphology or coloration) and behaviors of the incredible diversity of birds.
I obtained my PhD from the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), based out of the Argentine Museum of Natural History and Queen's University (Canada). After a year as a postdoctoral fellow at Queen's University, I moved to Ithaca (NY) as a postdoctoral associate in Irby Lovette's Lab. In 2016 I became a staff member at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, where I work as a Senior Research Associate in the Fuller Evolutionary Biology Program. |
