| Awards: |
NASA GSRP fellowship, 2005 |
Research
Interests: |
Evolution of evolvability, evolution of modularity,
processes of adaptation in bacteria, evolution of genetic
transformation and
recombination. |
| Committee: |
Turner, Caccone, Wikelski, Edwards |
Research
Interests: |
The relationship between phenotype-environment
interactions and the molecular evolution
of gene groups. I
am currently studying the evolution of
major histocompatibility complex genes in reptiles
as well as the nature of mitochondrial DNA length variation
due to variable nucleotide tandem repeats.
