My research explores below questions:

1) Where does water go after it rains?

2) How does chemistry of rainwater alter on its way from being rainfall to being streamflow?

3) How do resource developments impact water pathways and stream water quality?

4) Where are suitable locations for agricultural and forestry activities with a minimal impact on water… more

I am only interested in contact from people who have already completed training as genetic counselors for additional research based training.

Gender and Sex Influences on Pediatric Chronic Pain
In adult pain research there is a common finding that women experience more frequent, intense, and interfering chronic pain. Many studies also suggest that pain care is often biased towards dismissing the pain of female-identifying individuals. However, very little research has considered the impact of sex and gender on… more

Genetics of healthy aging. Genetics of lymphoid cancers in families.

We are a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary team of scientists that are motivated to improve diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for children and youth with a rheumatic disease through the discovery of driving mechanisms and prognostic biomarkers. Priority rheumatic diseases are: vasculitis - which develops when blood vessels carring oxygen to critical organs in the body (inclusive of… more

My research is in evolutionary developmental biology (evo devo) using mainly the crustacean Parhyale, the beetle Tribolium, and the millipede Oxidus, but also sometimes horseshoe crab, tarantula, silverfish, sea spider, and other arthropods. My lab uses molecular, morphological, and embryological approaches to investigate arthropod appendages like legs, wings, and gills as a… more

Democratization in Latin America

My research group focuses on the design and implementation of large-scale local and global optimization algorithms to tackle problems that arise in diverse decision-making paradigms such as machine learning, stochastic optimization, and optimal control. Our algorithms combine mathematical techniques and emerging high-performance computing hardware to achieve computational scalability.

We have several projects running at any given time (see the lab website and publications for a sense of what we do).
Candidates are matched with an appropriate project based on interest and expertise.
Our general approach is to welcome outstanding candidates (the very best) at every level of training to contribute to our award-winning team.

I am currently recruiting postdocs interested in:

• understanding how hormonal changes during puberty affect teenagers’ social and emotional development

• investigating how loneliness and social contact “get under the skin” to affect our physical health

• developing interventions to promote social connection
