Research Interests
We are a computational lab, using a variety of approaches from population genetics in order to study fundamental evolutionary processes. This line of research involves developing theory, as well as likelihood- and approximate Bayesian-based statistical approaches, for quantifying and untangling the evolutionary forces governing populations.
