Using landscape genetics and genomics to understand the evolutionary consequences of ecological change

---

I am a postdoctoral scientist at Washington State University. My research focuses on understanding how ecological change such as disease emergence may influence evolutionary processes in host species and entire communities. I also seek to introduce novel spatial statistical methodology to the subfields of population genomics referred to as landscape genetics and landscape genomics. Accordingly, I maintain an interest in simulating spatial population genetic data in order to evaluate the performance of emerging tools and research practices.
