Computational Methods to Understand Macroevolutionary Biology

James Boyko smiling at the camera.

I was a researcher with a strong interest in phylogenetic comparative methods, and I continually sought ways to improve and advance these techniques. During my MSc studies at the University of Toronto and my PhD studies at the University of Arkansas, I focused on the long-term trends that shaped the evolution and history of life on Earth. I was excited to continue this work and contribute to a deeper understanding of these fascinating processes.
