Dr. Juan Aguilar is a population geneticist interested in using genetic/genomic data to infer aspects of the ecology and natural history of species. Currently, Dr. Aguilar is working with the guidance of Dr. Bonin Lewallen in the NSF- funded project “Excellence in Research – Genomic Inferences of Adaptation in an Antarctic Top predator: the leopard seal (EiR-GIANT)” to identify and characterize leopard seal genes that may provide insights into their adaptations and divergence from other seal species.
