I am postdoctoral fellow at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center, and I will soon be joining Dr. Erich Jarvis’s lab at Howard Hughes Medical Institute-Duke University.

My research interests are in evolutionary genomics, computational biology and phylogenetics.  CV

Some research highlights:

• Phylogenomics: I and my collaborators have modeled how gene trees change along a long genomic sequence-alignment due to recombination.  The model makes genome-scale alignments amenable to population-genetic and phylogenetic analyses. Online early pre-print.
• Population genomics:  How sampling strategies affect the goodness-of-fit analyses of site-frequency spectra constructed from SNP data. PDF
• Phylogenetics:  New distance measures between biogeographic area phylogenies PDF.  Novel topological transformations between phylogenetic trees PDF.
