Seeking a funded PhD position in comparative genomics, biodiversity, or evolutionary conservation biology of marine fishes. If you're recruiting, I'd love to hear from you.

About

I'm a marine biologist working at the intersection of genomics and conservation. At SU-IEMS, I use genomic data from historical museum specimens and contemporary samples to reconstruct the population history of the delicate round herring (Spratelloides delicatulus). This work is part of the Philippines PIRE Project, an NSF-funded effort examining a century of change in Philippine marine biodiversity under human pressures.

Before coming to the Philippines, I earned a BSc (Honours) in Marine Science from Red Sea University in Sudan, specializing in biological oceanography and building field experience in the Red Sea's remarkably diverse marine ecosystems.
