I am an evolutionary biologist and postdoctoral  researcher at UC Berkeley. My primary research interest is in understanding the genetic and genomic changes that give rise to adaptation and the evolution of new species. Much of my research has focused on the diversification of bark beetles and their symbiotic fungi, although I am currently exploring speciation genomics and genome evolution in Drosophila.
