I am a mid-stage Ph.D. candidate in population genetics and computational genomics. My work focuses on the causes and consequences of recombination rate variation. I have published work in New Phytologist and Genome Biology and Evolution.

Other interests of mine that I aim to help with on Wikipedia include metal music and Overwatch esports (I am an unapologetic Winston main). I am also an avid guitar player who spends a lot of time working on music theory and transcribing songs using Guitar Pro software. Transcriptions I've done can be found here.

My recent Wikipedia contributions can be found here.
