Hi, I'm Chris 👋

PhD Student in Computational Biology @ Cornell | NSF Graduate Research Fellow

I'm a PhD student in Philipp Messer's lab at Cornell, where I develop tools and methods for population genetics research. I contribute to the SLiM ecosystem, and I build software that helps scientists and educators work more effectively.
