Research in Bioinformatics and Mathematical Biology

Mathematics and computation are powerful tools that are becoming increasingly important in the biological sciences. We use these methods to address questions ranging from genomics and molecular evolution to ecology, evolution, and behavior.

Faculty and Research Interests:

Christina Burch Evolutionary genetics, evolutionary modelling

Ty Hedrick Modelling of flight mechanics

Corbin D. Jones Comparative and Population Genomics

Joel G. Kingsolver Evolutionary theory, population ecology of insects.

Jason Lieb Genomics, chromatin, protein-DNA interactions, transcription on a genome-wide scale

Robert Peet Ecological Databases

Karin Pfennig Neural network modelling of evolutionary processes

Maria Servedio Evolutionary theory, mathematical modelling

Todd Vision Computational genetics, genome evolution and the architecture of complex traits

R. Haven Wiley Computational analysis of sound; acoustic communication
