👋 Hi, there!

I’m a molecular ecologist mainly interested in plant microbiomes. My research is a blend of theory drawn from evolutionary biology, community ecology, and multitrophic interactions, combined with cutting-edge tools in molecular biology, experimental evolution, high-throughput sequencing, and high-performance computing to delve deep into the mechanisms governing the interplay between plants and their microbiomes. My research focuses on answering important fundamental questions: how do microbiomes influence host ecology and evolution? Which are the rules behind the assembly of microbial communities? Can we assemble/evolve microbiomes to drive changes in host functional traits?
