Research

Advised by Mark Phillips

My research interest is understanding evolutionary adaptation to dietary stress using Drosophila melanogaster. My work focuses on the role of genetic redundancy in polygenic adaptation, using a multi-omics approach. I also aim to identify molecular signatures of diet tolerance using machine learning to uncover predictive biomarkers of metabolic resilience.
