Current research
I am interested in the interplay between ecological and evolutionary processes, specifically in the interaction between insects and their parasites or pathogens. A large part of my work uses Drosophila melanogaster and its parasitoids (mostly the braconid Asobara tabida) or pathogens (the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana and the microsporidian Tubulinosema kingi) and focuses on the (co)evolution of resistance and counter-resistance.
