I use experimental evolution and computer simulations to study evolution of the genomic mutation rate. During my PhD I examined the evolutionary dynamics of mutator alleles in experimental microbial populations, focusing on indirect selection experienced by mutators due to their associations with beneficial mutations. Currently, I am using computer simulations to investigate the evolutionary dynamics of chromosomal instability during cancer progression.

I am generally interested in molecular evolution and questions on epistasis, enzyme promiscuity, and novelty motivate my research. Current work uses deep mutational scanning to investigate epistasis within beta-lactamases.

I am broadly interested in mathematics and biology. I am currently working on computational methods to model the evolution of modifiers of fidelity of genetic information transmission within and between organisms.
