Welcome.

I am an assistant professor in Molecular and Computational Biology at USC. Before that, I was a postdoc with Graham Coop, Charles Langley, (and before that, with Sebastian Schreiber), in Evolution and Ecology at UC Davis, funded by a NRSA postdoc from the NIH. In May of 2009, I finished my PhD in the Statistics department at UC Berkeley, advised by Steve Evans.

To contact me, send email to pralph, at domain usc.edu (GPG/PGP).

My research uses probability and statistics to build models for evolutionary processes and to analyze genomic datasets. I particularly like problems with important geographical features.

Here are some cute baby pictures!
