Nicolas Rodrigue is a professor in the Department of Biology at Carleton University. His research focuses on Bayesian modeling and molecular evolution, particularly in the context of protein-coding genes. He explores the forces such as mutation, selection, and drift that shape extant sequences. His interests include Markov chain Monte Carlo methods and high-performance statistical computing. Rodrigue also investigates protein structure modeling and statistical protein design, utilizing next-generation sequencing techniques to study viral and microbial evolution in both clinical and experimental settings. He has authored several significant publications that contribute to the understanding of adaptation in protein-coding genes and the evolutionary genomics of various strains.
