Principal Investigator

I joined Rutgers in January 2025. Before coming to Rutgers, I spent two years as a computational biology postdoc in the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School, two years conducting independent research and teaching at Old Dominion University, and four and a half years as a systems biology postdoc at the Center for Quantitative Biodesign at Duke University.

I have an B.Sc. in Computational Biology, with honors, from Brown University, and in 2016, I defended my PhD in experimental evolution at Michigan State with Rich Lenski.
