I am an applied mathematics graduate student interested in the use of mathematical models to study problems in evolutionary biology. My background is in economics and pure mathematics. Since joining the Masel Lab, I've had the opportunity to work on projects related to absolute fitness and the evolution of traits in asexual populations.
