Top SchoolDevin Leopold is a Senior Bioinformatician and Data Scientist with 11 years of experience applying ecological and evolutionary genomics to microbial community questions, currently leading bioinformatics at Jonah Ventures and serving as Affiliate Graduate Faculty at Oregon State University. He holds a PhD in ecology and evolution and combines field-honed ecological sampling and experimental skills with robust computational pipelines for community ecology and metagenomics. Devin’s career spans hands-on island and forest fieldwork—quantifying arthropod and invasive species impacts—to developing reproducible analyses that bridge academia and industry. He is comfortable moving projects from sample collection through data management, statistical analysis, and publication-ready results, and mentors students and collaborators along the way. Based in Lafayette, Colorado, he brings a pragmatic systems view informed by remote-field logistics and restoration work that few bioinformaticians can claim.
