Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Carlson is a computational scientist at Stony Brook University with nine years of experience applying bioinformatics to plant genomics, phylogenetics, and transposable element evolution. He holds a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology for work on the genomic consequences of lost sexual reproduction in evening primroses, and earlier degrees in evolutionary biology and biology from San Diego State University. At Stony Brook he bridges core genomics facility workflows and computational research, enabling reproducible analyses and large-scale sequencing projects. Known for combining ecological insight with scalable computational pipelines, he brings a rare blend of field-informed hypothesis testing and hands-on bioinformatics. Based in Milford, CT, he continues to publish and develop methods that illuminate genome evolution in non-model plants.
