Computational Genetics and Evolution @UNM


Davorka Gulisija, Assistant Professor

davorka

Davorka completed her PhD in Computational Genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her postdoc in Mathematical Biology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Eve Rowland, PhD Student

eve

Eve completed her BS in Biology at the University of Florida and is pursuing a PhD in Biology at the UNM. She uses computational approaches to elucidate mechanisms of eco-evolutionary dynamics in the face of temporally changing environments.

Andisheh Dadashi, Visiting Postdoc

andisheh

Andisheh completed her MS in Statistics and PhD in Computer Science at the UNM. While she is a tenure track faculty at UNM-Valecia, she collaborates with us as a visiting postdoc. She develops computational approaches for studying dynamic complex systems.

Nawsheen Tarannum Promy, PhD Student

Bryce

Nawsheen completed her BS in Computer Science at the Military Institute of Science and Technology, Bangladesh, and is currently pursuing her PhD in Computer Science at the UNM. She is working on the evolution of plasticity and adaptation in migrating populations, and on the evolution of recombination rates and epistasis in temporally varying habitats. She enjoys traveling and collecting coins.

Mitchell Newberry, Research Assistant Professor

Bryce

Mitchell develops mathematical and computational theory to understand how the evolutionary process produces form and function in biology and culture. He comes from a background in Physics, Biomathematics and Computation with a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. Check out his Google Scholar.

Adina Abudushalamu, Honors Student

Adina

Adina is an undergraduate studying Biochemistry and Computer Science. She’s working on the effects of epistasis on evolution in temporally varying environments. Adina loves to build code -- check out her Github.

Shweta Agarwal, MS Student

Shweta

Shweta completed her BA in Liberal Arts and Sciences at St. John’s College, Santa Fe. She will begin her MS in Biology at UNM in Summer 2024.
