I am a computational biologist and population genetecist broadly interested in the evolution of complex traits. I am currently a postdoc in the Garud Lab at UCLA, where I study the genomic signatures of selective sweeps in the human gut microbiome. I received my PhD from Brown University in May 2024, where I conducted research as a member of the Weinreich Lab. My PhD thesis focused on the evolution of bet hedging, a widespread strategy to reduce risk in the face of unpredictable environmental change.
I also love making coloring books to communicate big ideas and engage scientists of all ages. Check out my STEAM coloring books.
