People

I apply population genomic analysis and modelling to understand the fundamental properties and mechanisms of selection, recombination, and speciation. Model organisms are mostly humans and other primates.

Tobias worked on a graph-based formulation of phase-type distributions to compute the joint distribution of total branch length of lineages with different numbers of descendants and to compute the joint distribution of the site frequency spectrum in both a single population and in an isolation-with-migration model.

David was funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark. He worked on distributions of fitness effects and the determinants of genetic variation across the genomes of great apes. David went on to do a postdoc with Donate Weghorn, Centre for Genomic Regulation, Spain. [ORCID Profile](https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8778-6007)
