Upcoming events
-
Aug 11-14, 2025. IMSI workshop, Contemporary Challenges in Large-Scale Sequence Alignments and Phylogenies:
Bridging Theory and Practice. This is a workshop co-organized by me, Siavash Mirarab, and Sebastien
Roch. The first three days will include research talks by mathematicians, statisticans, computer scientists,
and biologists, and will also have a poster session for students and postdocs.
The final day (Aug 14) will be a Software School, covering some of the new methods that have been
developed.
Please contact me if you are interested in participating, but also see the IMSI website
