I have joined the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at American University in August 2016 as an Assistant Professor. Prior to this appointment I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at The Ohio State University, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Cancer Biology at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine and a Visiting Scholar at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech.

My research interests include systems biology and its application to molecular networks, the estimation of species-level phylogenies using novel mathematical techniques, and application of methods from evolutionary biology to cancer evolution.
