Ilana Arbisser, Ph.D. student. Ilana completed her B.A. in biology with a concentration in biological mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research interests are in computational, mathematical, and statistical problems in population genetics and genomics. (Aug 2014 - present)

Kaleda Denton (Kayla), Ph.D. student. Kayla completed her B.S. in Ecology, Behavior and Evolution at the University of California, Los Angeles. As an undergraduate, she performed research on evolutionary and ecological aspects of animal and human behavior — on such topics as foraging algorithms in Argentine ants, birdsong syntax during vocal interactions in Cassin's vireo, and evolution of human moral norms. Her research interests are in evolution of behavior, cultural evolution, and mathematical modeling in evolutionary biology. (Sep 2018 - present)

Hormazd Godrej, undergraduate. Hormazd is a senior majoring in biology. The focus of his academic interests is the intersection of computation, math, and biology, and he is pursuing the new computational biology track of the biology major. His research in the lab is centered on runs of homozygosity and Jewish genetics. (Sep 2016 - present)

Maruce Goodman, visiting Ph.D. student (Marine Biology Ph.D. program). Maurice completed his B.S. in biological sciences at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with a concentration in marine biology and a minor in statistics. His interests are in marine biogeography, marine population dynamics, and disease ecology of marine organisms. His research in the lab focuses on population connectivity and population genetics of migration. Maurice is spending the first year of his Ph.D. in the lab before heading to Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station to complete his studies with Prof. Giulio De Leo. (Sep 2018 - present)

Gili Greenbaum, postdoc. Gili completed his B.S. in mathematics and philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and his M.S. and Ph.D. in population genetics at Ben Gurion University. During his Ph.D., Gili focused on the intersection of population genetics and network theory, developing the NetStruct program for inference of population structure. He also worked on a number of empirical problems in molecular ecology and conservation genetics. Gili's work in the lab includes topics in coalescent theory and network theory. (Sep 2017 - present)

Zoe Himwich, undergraduate. Zoe is a junior majoring in mathematics and English. Her academic interests also include philosophy and physics. Zoe has worked previously as a research assistant in inverterbrate zoology at the Smithsonian and in satellite trajectory design at NASA. In the lab, Zoe is studying the combinatorics of evolutionary trees. (April 2017 - present)

Jaehee Kim, postdoc. Jaehee completed her B.A. in physics and mathematics at Columbia University, and her Ph.D. in physics at Stanford University. For her Ph.D. work, involving both experiment and theory, she examined the dynamics of a light-induced isomerization of an organic molecule. Jaehee's research interests in the lab include topics in population-genetic dynamical systems, statistical methods in population genetics, and mathematical phylogenetics. (Oct 2015 - present)

Rohan Mehta, Ph.D. student. Rohan completed his B.S. in biology and mathematics at the University of California, San Diego.

His work is supported by a Stanford Graduate Fellowship. (Sep 2013 - present)

Alissa Severson, Ph.D. student (Genetics Ph.D. program). Alissa completed her B.A. in mathematics and chemistry at Carleton College, where she participated in the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics program. After college, she worked for two years in clinical genomics and bioinformatics at the Univesity of Washington and the Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle. Alissa's interests in the lab are in human population genetics and genomics. Her work is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. (Jan 2017 - present)

Lawrence Uricchio, postdoc. Lawrence received a B.A. in physics from Carleton College, and M.S. degrees in biophysical sciences and computer science from the University of Chicago. He completed his Ph.D. in bioinformatics at the University of California, San Francisco. Lawrence's Ph.D. research focused on methods of stochastic simulation for population-genetic models of natural selection, as well as on the consequences of population-genetic phenomena for rare-variant tests of genetic association with disease.
