Long Bio
I am originally from Austin, Texas and attended Texas A&M University for my B.S. in Applied Mathematics with a focus in Computational Science. I began working in the Song Lab the summer before my senior year, and continued my work through the move from Texas A&M to ASU. During my time in the Song Lab, I have utilized a diverse catalogue of computational methods to answer a wide range of questions within Orthoptera, including questions surrounding comparative genomics of Schistocerca, phase transition, pesticide effectiveness, population genetics, and convergently evolved traits.
At ASU, my PhD research focuses on understanding the genetic mechanisms underpinning phenotypic plasticity in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria.
