Bio

I'm visiting the Feldman Lab while writing my book, "Clade Thinking: The Macroevolution of Recursive Clades and the Evolution of Evolvability". The motivating question of the book is, "Can macroevolution be reduced to merely the repeated iteration of microevolution?" (Answer: no, you would be missing a lot.)

I'm also doing some machine learning applied to genomics with the Fraser Lab, related to the evolution of chromatin accessibility, which is important to cellular identity.

I got my B.S. in Physics at Yale, and my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the California Institute of Technology. I've gone back and forth between academia (computational biology) and the tech industry in Silicon Valley.
