Genomics Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell University. Received his BS in Biology at Millersville University in 2019, and was awarded a four-year fellowship as an Institute of Technology and Applied Science Doctoral Scholar to pursue a PhD at Virginia Tech beginning in 2019. Received his PhD in Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology in 2023 in Dr. Jason Holliday’s lab at Virginia Tech studying landscape genomics in natural and breeding American chestnut populations. Today, he is a Genomics Postdoctoral Associate at Breeding Insight, a USDA-ARS-funded initiative hosted at Cornell currently supporting 24 specialty crops and 3 animal breeding programs in the adoption of new tools, technologies, and software since its inception in 2019. His current research interests include using genomics to mitigate the impacts of climate change on susceptible species, and developing accessible pipelines for complex bioinformatic analyses. He is a member of the American Society for Horticultural Science.
