About


I'm an evolutionary genomicist with a deep love of natural history and strange organisms. Currently, I work as a Compuational Biologist at Colossal Biosciences. Prior to this I was an NSF-OCE postdoc based out of the Paleogenomics Lab at UC Santa Cruz. There I studied (and I continue to be involved in) the population, comparative, and conservation genomics of California abalone and bears. See my Projects page for more details!
