Our research crosses a broad spectrum of areas, centered around microbial evolutionary genomics and antibiotic resistance. Our projects are curiosity-driven and range from fundamental evolutionary questions, to genetic arms races, to algorithmic and technology development. We work at the intersection of experiment, computation, theory, and engineering, focusing on how best to answer the scientific question and bringing to bear whatever tools necessary, even if it means building new ones.
