Hello, World! 👋 I'm currently a Research Fellow at The University of Connecticut with Jill Wegrzyn as part the EvoME Institute, one of four major initiatives awarded $15 million each through the NSF’s Biology Integration Institute. I was formly at Northeastern University with Katie Lotterhos using simulated data to assess machine learning methods for ranking population risk to climate change, and at the University of British Columbia with Sally Aitken and Sam Yeaman working on the CoAdapTree project to assist four ecologically and economically important Canadian conifer species adapt in the face of changing climates.
I've created several custom python functions for everyday use - eg using engines to parallelize reading in of large dataframes, submit/query/update slurm jobs and slurm queue, creating basic maps, and more - check out my repo here
