Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason De Koning is an Associate Professor and computational genomics researcher with 11 years of professional experience translating evolutionary and population-genetics theory into scalable Bayesian and machine-learning inference for health genomics. Based at the University of Calgary, he leads graduate training and integrates computational molecular evolution with large-scale statistical methods to tackle complex genomic questions. His work spans academia and pedagogy—from directing computational genomics courses to postdoctoral research at the University of Colorado—and is documented in a prolific Google Scholar profile. Known for bridging theoretical population genetics and practical genomic inference, he combines a rare mix of deep quantitative training (PhD in Biological Sciences) and hands-on bioinformatics to drive reproducible, large-scale analyses.
