Davorka Gulisija, Assistant Professor
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 Candidate
Eve completed her BS in Zoology and a BA in Anthropology from 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. Please check out her
web page.
Andisheh Dadashi, Visiting Assistant Professor
Andisheh completed her MS in Statistics and PhD in Computer Science at the UNM. While she is a tenure track faculty at UNM-Valencia, she collaborates with us. She develops computational approaches for studying dynamic complex systems.
Nawsheen Tarannum Promy, PhD Candidate
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, Adjunct Professor
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

Adina Ataran, PREP Scholar
Adina graduated with a BS in Biochemistry and Computer Science at UNM. She is examining the effects of epistasis on evolution in temporally varying environments. She is also interested in Medical Data Science and is looking into how data integration increases the power to detect pleiotropic genes in association studies. Adina loves to build code -- check out her
Github.
Shweta Agarwal, MS Student
Shweta completed her BA in Liberal Arts and Sciences at St. John’s College, Santa Fe. She is examining the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental change.
Xavier Larason, Research Assistant
Xavier is a second-year undergraduate student in Chemical Engineering, with interests in physics and computational biology. He is also interested in baseball and fitness and loves to spend time with his family. He is conducting theoretical research on the effects of trait asynchrony on multi-locus balanced polymorphism under temporally varying selection.
Katerina Johnson, MS Student
Katerina graduated with her BS in biology. She is currently pursuing a master's in biomedical engineering with a concentration in bioinformatics. When she is not studying, she enjoys spending time with her dog Moose. Her research is looking into the effects of trait asynchrony on the levels of multi-locus polymorphism under temporally varying selection.
Azadeh Golduzian, PhD Student
Azadeh earned an undergraduate degree in Statistics at the University of Tehran, Iran, and an MS degree in Statistics at the University of New Mexico. In our lab she is pursuing a Ph.D. in Computational Biology, where she is applying her expertise in data science to study the genetic basis of human complex trait variation, a field she is deeply passionate about.
