Daniel Ariad

Currently I am a postdoc in the McCoy lab at Johns Hopkins University. I'm a physicist by training, with research experience in condensed matter and astrophysics. I'm interested in adapting theory and analytical approaches from these fields to the study of human genomics and evolution. I received my Ph.D. from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and subsequently worked as postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University Bloomington.
