About Cory

I’m a recent PhD graduate from Alan Bergland’s lab in the Biology department at the University of Virginia. My work at UVA involved computational methods development and analysis of simulated and real-world large-scale genetic data to address questions about ecology and evolution. Read more about my research here or check out my CV.

I received my B.A. in Biology at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, MN. After graduating, I worked as a quarantine lab technician for the American Red Cross.

I recently taught the first course of my own design, Introduction to Computational Biology! Learn more at my page on teaching.

I’m a passionate about cooking, dedicated to weight training, enjoy the occasional spartan race.
