Biography

I am an evolutionary biologist studying the evolution of bacterial pathogens. My research interests focus on how populations evolve in response to changes in their environments, and the processes involved in analyzing genome sequences. I hold a degree in physics and have studied philosophy for several years before moving into the field of evolutionary biology.
