I am currently a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows, and a postdoc in John Wakeley's group. Before arriving here, I was a graduate student with Marc Feldman at Stanford University.
After completing my fellowship in July 2010, I will be joining the faculty at Brown University as an assistant professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and as a faculty member of the Center for Computational Molecular Biology.
My current research interests involve studying the spatial distribution of human genetic variation, both geographically and within the genome (i.e., comparing X-chromosomal and autosomal genetic variation); the relationship between genetic variation and variation in linguistic markers across human populations (work underway with Marc Feldman, L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza, and Merritt Ruhlen); and sources of randomness in diploid gene genealogies (work with John Wakeley).
