For two years prior to this I was an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science University of New Mexico, working at the Laboratory for High-Performance Algorithm Engineering and Computational Molecular Biology under the direction of Prof. Bernard Moret and Prof. David Bader in computational phylogeny.

Research Interests:

Application of discrete modeling and analysis techniques to various areas of computational biology. I am especially interested in computational populationa biology, both human (epidemiology) and animal.
