NIMBioS Congratulates Its Newest Postdocs
The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) congratulates its newest postdoctoral fellows, who will begin their research at NIMBioS later this year.
R. Tucker Gilman is a Ph.D. candidate in zoology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His postdoctoral project is Modeling the evolution of speciation in coevolving systems.
Tom E. Ingersoll is a Ph.D. candidate in environmental science, policy, and management at the University of California, Berkeley. His postdoctoral project is Dispersal and dynamic occupancy models for the spread of white nose syndrome in bats.
Dwueng-Chwuan (Tony) Jhwueng is a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics (with a statistics option) at Indiana University, Bloomington. Tony is interested in determining optimal sampling strategies, designing new phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) for comparative data analysis under non-tree-like evolution, and building graphical user interface (GUI) software to assist with that analysis. His postdoctoral project is entitled On optimal taxa sampling and modeling hybridizations for phylogenetic comparative methods (Taxa sampling & hyd-PCMs).
Emily V. Moran is a Ph.D. candidate in biology (minor in genetics) at Duke University. Emily plans to investigate the impact of increasing CO2 levels on inter-genotype competition and plant-insect interactions in aspen forests. Her postdoctoral project is entitled Community genetics and global change: Scaling up genotype-level plant responses to population and community dynamics (Community genetics and global change).
Xavier Thibert-Plante
earned a Ph.D. in biology in Spring 2010 from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. His postdoctoral project is Local adaptation and gene flow under climate change.
