I am working at the Kane lab at CU Boulder (http://cannabisgenomics.org/) on genomic evolution of Cannabis. I am the CEO and cofounder of the Agricultural Genomics Foundation (http://agriculturalgenomics.org), a non-profit organization that aims in providing genomic tools to the Cannabis industry to improve breeding. Also cofounder of the Cannabis Genomic Research Initiative (CGRI; http://cannabisgenomics.org/)
I finished my PhD at the Lively lab at IU (http://sites.bio.indiana.edu/~livelylab/) on the spatial and temporal distribution of parasites and sexual reproduction.
