About
Interested in using data to make a tangible change in our planet’s or people’s lives. I work primarily in R and Shiny to create open source and hopefully useful packages or analyses. I am an owner/member of Discindo. I studied diatom evolution (Alverson lab). Get in touch if you have a project involving conservation, medicine, or development, and you might need someone skillful in research, stats, and software development.
Experience
Started programming in R as a graduate student and developing {shiny} applications 2014.
Research on diatom diversification, transcriptional response to salinity, local adaptation to salinity gradients, phylogenomics and genome evolution.
Taught: Genetics, Limnology, Phycology. Field work: Ohrid, Prespa, Iowa, Guam, Malili lakes (Sulawesi), Baikal (Siberia).
Projects
R library for creating customizible {shiny} applications to vizualize, customize, and annotate phylogenetic trees.
R package with modularized {shiny} application for post-processing results from species diversification modelling with {hisse}.
{shiny} application in a {golem} R package for optimized use of Covid-19 testing resources in low and middle income countries.
