Welcome!

I am a bioinformatician and evolutionary ecologist and NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Arizona. I use field work and apply and develop machine learning and other computational methods to investigate environmental and ecological drivers of genomic disease adaptation within bats and across mammals in the Enard Lab at the University of Arizona.
More broadly, my research programs combines computational methods development with organismal knowledge and ecological and evolutionary theory to bridge molecular ecology and evolution. It primarily focuses on investigating the varied mechanisms by which organisms adapt to environmental threats such as toxins and disease, and how mutation, genomic variation, and the environment interact to shape that adaptation. |
