Specifically, I use statistical methods and evolutionary modeling tools to study how population history, environmental variation, and genetic architecture interact to shape the evolution of complex traits. I am also interested in how these interacting factors influence phenotype prediction across populations, particularly given the persistent transferability challenge of genetic prediction tools across diverse genetic and environmental backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Selected Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=PE1bl_4AAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Google Scholar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biosketch I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a Bachelor of Science in integrated science in 2020.
