Noah Rosenberg, principal investigator. Noah received his B.A. in mathematics from Rice University in 1997, his M.S. in mathematics from Stanford University in 1999, and his Ph.D. in biology from Stanford University in 2001. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship in the molecular and computational biology group at the University of Southern California.

From 2005-2011, Noah was on the faculty of the University of Michigan (Departments of Human Genetics, Biostatistics, and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Center for Computational Medicine and Biology, and the Life Sciences Institute).

In July 2011, he joined the faculty of the Department of Biology at Stanford University. [brief bio]

Bridget Algee-Hewitt, postdoc. Bridget completed her Ph.D. in biological anthropology at the University of Tennessee. She also holds an M.A. in near eastern and classical archaeology from Bryn Mawr College. In her Ph.D., Bridget performed mixture modeling to cluster human craniometric variation. She also examined the historical use of terms relating to "race" in the anthropology literature. While finishing her Ph.D., Bridget taught at Grand Valley State University, and she has served as the Haslam Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Forensic Anthropology at the University of Tennessee.
