I study a wide-variety of problems in ecology and evolution using a diverse set of organisms. I generate and work with reference genomes, transcriptomic sequences (RNA-seq) and NGS microbial community data. Using these rich resources in combination with statistical analysis of how genome features vary over space (at multiple levels) and over evolutionary time, my primary aim is to understand how phenotypes emerge and vary both proximately and ultimately. Below are my primary research areas currently, followed by other projects that also excite me.
