Research Interest

She is a population geneticist and my research interests lie in the field of evolutionary and landscape genetics.She like to research and understand which factors, external or internal to the species, influence its genetic make-up. During her PhD,she has worked on conservation of Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) in Vietnamese remote areas.she used phenotypic and genotypic descriptions to characterize local domestic breeds on five domestic species (cattle, swamp buffalo, goat, pigs and chickens). She highlighted the importance of fine scale sampling approaches for enlighten admixture and hybrids processes. In addition, she has demonstrated that ethnological social structure strongly influences the genetic pattern of local domestic breeds. Her current research aims to use population genetics tools to increase our understanding in dispersal pattern and adaptive capacity of alien invasive species. Despite a founding effect, and therefore a limited standing genetic variation, alien invasive species have successfully established. Understanding such process could provide key knowledge for conservation of small population size as well as for pest control. Model species of this research include two out of three of the world’s worst invasive birds: the Common myna (Acridotheres tristis) and the Common startling (Sturnus vulgaris).
