Members. Graduate student and postdoctoral members of the lab
have received their previous academic training in a variety of fields,
including anthropological genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics,
biological anthropology, biology, chemistry, computer science, ecology
& evolution, genetics, human biology, human genetics, mathematics,
molecular & cellular biology, physics, psychology, statistics, and
systems science & engineering. Past experience in both a mathematical
field and a biological field is common. Lab alumni

Lab members contribute to a warm and interactive
intellectual atmosphere with a strong commitment to rigor and training in
mathematical, statistical, and computational approaches to biology.
Members enter the group with a high degree of independence, motivation,
and training; undergraduates and early-stage graduate students are often
paired with senior members for the initial stages of their work in the
lab. Typical research profiles for graduate students and postdocs include
mathematical theory, development of statistical methods, and data
analysis, and may include both individual and team-oriented projects. Lab
members often have considerable autonomy in working to devise their
project portfolios.
As part of their experience in the lab, members of
the lab strive to promote interconnectedness among academic disciplines,
clear and concise scientific writing, informative presentation of
scientific results, rigor and thoroughness in scientific work, support and
mentorship for junior members, and openness in disseminating the products
of their research. We seek to bring in new members who share our research
interests and our scientific values.
