Noah Rosenberg, principal investigator. Noah received his B.A. in mathematics from Rice University in 1997, his M.S. in mathematics from Stanford University in 1999, and his Ph.D. in biology from Stanford University in 2001. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship in the molecular and computational biology group at the University of Southern California.

From 2005-2011, Noah was on the faculty of the University of Michigan (Departments of Human Genetics, Biostatistics, and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Center for Computational Medicine and Biology, and the Life Sciences Institute).

In July 2011, he joined the faculty of the Department of Biology at Stanford University.

Lars Andersen, postdoc. Lars completed his Ph.D. in probability theory at the University of Aarhus. His research interests are in stochastic processes for population genetics. Lars has a particular interest in the coalescent isolation-with-migration model and its applications. He has previously been a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Asger Hobolth at the University of Aarhus. Lars's work is supported by a fellowship from the Villum Foundation. (Oct 2012 - present)

Doc Edge, PhD student. Doc completed his B.A. in human biology at Stanford University and his M.A. in statistics at the University of California, Berkeley. His research interests are in statistical methods for population genetics and disease-gene mapping. He is currently working on properties of statistics used for assessing population structure and linkage disequilibrium. Doc's work is supported by a Stanford Graduate Fellowship. (Jul 2012 - present)

Amy Goldberg, PhD student. Amy completed her B.S. in biological anthropology and mathematics at the University of Michigan, where she was an undergraduate researcher in the lab. Her interests are in human evolutionary genetics, and she is currently working on mathematical modeling problems in anthropological genetics. Amy's work is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. (Sep 2012 - present)

Ethan Jewett, Ph.D. student. Ethan completed his B.A. in physics at Reed College, and his M.S. in applied and interdisciplinary mathematics at the Univesity of Michigan. He has been working on gene trees and species trees, methods for estimating population divergence times, coalescent models for genotype imputation, and coalescent theory more generally. Other interests include cultural evolution as studied with the use of linguistic markers. (Jan 2010 - present)

Naama Kopelman, environmental studies Ph.D. student (Tel Aviv University). Naama completed her B.Sc. in biology and computer science at Tel Aviv University and her M.S. in bioinformatics at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Her M.S. thesis investigated the relationship between gene duplication and alternative splicing. Naama's current work focuses on genetic relationships among Jewish populations, and on algorithms for examining genetic admixture. Her Ph.D. program is at the Porter School of Environmental Studies, Tel Aviv University. (Jul 2007 - present)

Amanda Sargent, administrative associate. Amanda completed her B.A. in sociology at San Jose State University. She has extensive experience working in higher education administration, at the University of Utah, Sacramento State University, and Stanford University. Amanda provides expert administrative support for the lab's research and education activities. (Aug 2011 - present)
