Applied and Computational Mathematics, Princeton University
Evolution by natural selection is a fundamental property of life. I want to understand, predict and control how microbes evolve and adapt to their environment.

Biological Sciences, California State Polytechnic University Pomona
I am interested in developing and testing models that predict the fitness effects of new mutations. I am also pursuing an improved lineage tracking system for long-term evolution experiments.
Chen Hsiao
PhD student
MS
Animal Science and Technology, National Taiwan University
I’m interested in delving into phylogenetics and exploring how microbes adapt through genetic and phenotypic changes in dynamic environments. My current focus is on the adaptation of marine microbes.

BSc
Ecology, Behavior and Evolution, University of California San Diego
I am interested in using mathematical and computational models to understand evolution. I am currently working on a model to predict the evolution of cross-resistance and cross-sensitivity to antibiotics.
