I am an evolutionary geneticist studying genome evolution and its consequences across species. I’m currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Ecology & Evolution at the University of Chicago, working on evolutionary genomics in Aedes aegypti, Drosophila, and more.
Previously I was a postdoc with Daniel Matute and Dan Schrider at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, remotely hosted at the University of British Columbia Biodiversity Research Centre with the Whitlock Lab, where I worked on Aedes aegpyti demography and linked selection. I did my Ph.D. in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Stephen Wright, studying the genomic consequences of plant genome structure. I received my B.S. in Genetics and Genomics with a minor in Statistics from the University of California, Davis in 2015, where I worked in the Ross-Ibarra lab.
