Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Tiago Simões. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Tiago Simões is an Assistant Professor at the High Meadows Environmental Institute and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. His research focuses on understanding the genomic, ecological, and phenotypic processes that drive major evolutionary transitions within the vertebrate tree of life. He employs both theoretical and empirical methodologies to investigate deep-time problems in vertebrate macroevolution. His work integrates data from both living and extinct species, utilizing morphological and genomic data to conduct phylogenomic studies. Additionally, Simões examines how organismal evolution has responded to climate change over deep time by combining paleoclimatic data with patterns and rates of lineage diversification.
