RESEARCH INTEREST:

My research interests are the domestication of livestock animals from their wild predecessors, population change in livestock animals through time via wild and inter-population admixture, and caprine genetics. Towards those ends, my research has exploited archaeogenomic techniques to directly sample prior to, during, and after key events in the domestication history of goats. I am also interested in the introduction of domestic animals to Europe, the origins of herding in the Zagros Mountains of Iran and its environs, and the development of livestock populations in the Levant and SW Asia.
