My research interests concern the complex relationships between language(s) and genes covering several scales, from the individual, through the population and to the evolutionary.

I use a variety of methods, including computer simulations, phylogenetic approaches, statistical techniques and experiments to probe the genetic bases of language and speech, and their interaction with cultural processes.

Currently I am working on two main topics: individual differences in speech and language with a genetic basis, on one hand and large-scale correlations between languages and genes on the other.
