Description of research:

I am working with Dr. Hammer and Dr. Watkins on the development of new theory and computational methods related to human genetic evolution. In particular, the creation of new models for detecting admixture for use in the HOMINID project in Dr. Hammer's lab, along with optimized computational methods that implement these models.
