Assistant Professor
Positions:
- Assistant Professor, Marine Biology (Galveston), Texas A&M University at Galveston
overview
My lab studies the origin and maintenance of marine biodiversity, primarily in coral reef fishes, using genomic and computational methods. My lab has broad interests in phylogenomics and phylogeography, population genetics/genomics, and the geography and genetics of speciation in reef fishes.
