Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeoffrey Thomson is a postdoctoral associate at Yale with 11 years of experience applying molecular, computational, and genome engineering approaches to plant developmental biology and gene regulation. He investigates how genotype maps to phenotype, with a particular focus on circadian control of development, polyploidy, gene evolution and domestication, using Medicago truncatula flowering-time mutants as a model. Trained with a PhD and first-class honours from the University of Auckland, he blends hands-on wet-lab genetics with bioinformatics and statistical modeling to probe biological circuit architecture and community-level questions. Beyond experiments, he engages with the philosophical foundations of scientific inference and leverages computational methods to better represent biological reality, reflecting a rare combination of technical depth and conceptual curiosity.
