About Me
I am a PhD student in the Edwards Lab in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. I got my undergraduate degree studying evolutionary biology in the College of Creative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Generally, I am interested in integrating genomics, computing, and field study to understand the processes that form and maintain biodiversity. More specific interests of mine include:
- Using genomic data to infer historical patterns of divergence and introgression across landscapes and inform conservation.
- Understanding how genome architecture shapes divergence, speciation, and adaptation.
I am especially interested in birds, amphibians, and coastal fish, though I am always excited to explore other wild systems that may provide useful insights. While I love all birds, everywhere, I have a strong affinity for Neotropical suboscines and tubenose seabirds. Within amphibians, I am a fanatic for Plethodontids, particularly Batrachoseps.
