Sean Anderson is an Assistant Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology. He holds a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Toronto, awarded in 2022. His research primarily focuses on speciation and the evolutionary interactions among species, including hybridization, extinction, and character displacement. He is dedicated to developing quantitative tools to better understand the processes that drive biodiversity. His interests encompass studying genomic data in various organisms, particularly birds, terrestrial vertebrates, and wild Drosophila species pairs. The Anderson Lab emphasizes addressing fundamental ecological and evolutionary questions, such as the role of divergent selection in speciation and the factors influencing genomic independence among hybridizing lineages.
