Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the evolution of complex traits by developing new experimental and computational methods.
Our work brings together quantitative genetics, genomics, epigenetics, and evolutionary biology to achieve a deeper understanding of how genetic variation shapes the phenotypic diversity of life. Our main focus is on the evolution of gene expression, which is the primary fuel for natural selection. Our long-term goal is to be able to introduce complex traits into new species via genome editing. -

BioIn May of 2022, I graduated as a Schulze Innovation Scholar from the University of St. Thomas (Saint Paul, MN).
I am interested in developing sensing and imaging technologies that can increase access to basic diagnostic healthcare. -

BioI carry out theoretical and observational research in cosmology on topics including dark energy, dark matter, and inflation, using tools such as large-scale structure, gravitational lensing, and supernovae, with increasing focus on the application of machine learning to the analysis of cosmic surveys. Cosmology is akin to archaeology on the grand scale: as an archaeologist uses pottery shards to reconstruct an ancient civilization and how it evolved, cosmologists use both small- and large-scale data to reconstruct the origin and evolution of the universe and to probe fundamental physics.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe long term goal of our research is to understand how proteins fold in living cells. My lab uses a multidisciplinary approach to address fundamental questions about molecular chaperones, protein folding and degradation. In addition to basic mechanistic principles, we aim to define how impairment of cellular folding and quality control are linked to disease, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases and examine whether reengineering chaperone networks can provide therapeutic strategies.
