PhD Overview

My research focuses on highlighting the dynamics of sub-Saharan population genetics and answering fundamental evolutionary questions about modern human origins, migratory patterns, and geographical distribution. My goal is to uncover and describe the genetic variation and population structure within the Zambian population, establishing high-quality DNA datasets to support both forensic and human evolutionary research.

Sustainability Goals

  • Gender Equality
  • Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
  • Reduced Inequalities
