I studied the morphological, ecological, and genetic phylogenetics of map turtles.
My biological interests stem from my background in herpetology and zoo science. I am largely interested in allopolyploidy (especially in vertebrates), non-model genome assembly and annotation, anything reptile/amphibian, and conservation genomics.
My computational interests are more fluid. I am currently enjoying working with IoT/raspberry pis, learning system administration, and learning how to automate workflows to make common analyses easier to learn and complete.
