Nicolas Rodrigue is an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, with a cross appointment in the Department of Biology at Carleton University. He holds degrees from Bishop's University (BA), McGill University (BSc), École de technologie supérieure (MSc), and the University of Montreal (PhD). His research primarily focuses on Bayesian modeling and molecular evolution, especially concerning protein-coding genes and the evolutionary forces such as mutation, selection, and genetic drift that shape extant sequences. He is also interested in Markov chain Monte Carlo methods and high-performance statistical computing. His research interests further extend to protein structure modeling, statistical protein design, and next-generation sequencing approaches used in studying viral and microbial evolution in both clinical and experimental settings.
Includes MEng and MASc options.
