I recently received funding from the Carl Tryggers Foundation to begin a postdoc project with Staffan Bensch. I will work on the genetics and evolution of host specificity in malaria parasites of birds.
I’m originally from San Diego, California. I did my undergraduate work at UC Santa Barbara and my PhD at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. From there I moved to Belo Horizonte, Brazil for a mostly teaching postdoc at the Federal University of Minas Gerais.
