C. Tomomi Parins-Fukuchi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. With a PhD from the University of Michigan and postdoctoral training from the University of Chicago, Parins-Fukuchi specializes in computational evolutionary biology, focusing on both paleobiology and molecular evolution. The research primarily involves leveraging large-scale genomic and phenotypic datasets, alongside developing computational methodologies to tackle fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. Parins-Fukuchi is particularly interested in understanding the evolutionary processes and the patterns that contribute to the emergence of novel and complex phenotypic traits. The work aims to reveal the limits in our capability to infer evolutionary processes that have influenced large-scale evolutionary patterns over deep time by integrating information from genomes, phenotypes, and the fossil record. Parins-Fukuchi also actively engages with prospective graduate students, currently accepting MSc and PhD candidates.
