Simon Aeschbacher is an Independent Research Fellow in the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. His research focuses on population genetics, with a particular interest in the evolution and maintenance of genetic diversity in natural populations. Aeschbacher investigates the interplay between gene flow and natural selection, and how recombination mediates the effects of selection on genes. His work emphasizes the significance of these interactions for understanding local adaptation and speciation, which are essential processes for creating biological variation. With the advent of advanced DNA sequencing technology, Aeschbacher's research employs innovative methodologies and models to examine evolutionary questions at a genomic scale. His approach combines mathematics, population-genetic theory, and computational techniques to analyze various study systems involving plants, animals, and humans.
