We focus on fundamental questions in genomics, ecology, and evolution. Our methods include fieldwork and labwork, but most of our time is spent analyzing genomics data using computational biology approaches.

In fall 2025, we may be recruiting graduate student(s) (PhD) for Fall 2026 who are interested in one or more of several topics:

• Ant / bacteria co-evolution, landscape genomics, and population genomics
• Vertebrate and/or invertebrate genome evolution
