Our lab applies theoretical, computational and empirical approaches to study complex biological systems in a wide range of habitats: our bodies, cities, forests, and oceans. We are particularly interested in the causes and consequences of biological diversity, and exploring patterns and principles that may be universal across the Tree of Life. We use interdisciplinary approaches at the interface of environmental genomics, ecology, phylogenetics, mathematics, and informatics.
