Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Shoemaker is a postdoctoral fellow with 11 years of research experience specializing in quantitative microbial ecology and evolution, currently based at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste. He previously held a postdoc at UCLA and earned his Ph.D. training in Evolution, Ecology & Behavior at Indiana University Bloomington, building a strong quantitative and experimental foundation. William blends theoretical modeling with microbial data to probe ecological interactions and evolutionary dynamics, often working at the interface of math and biology. His work in Jacopo Grilli’s group signals a focus on large-scale community patterns and the mechanisms that shape microbial diversity. Colleagues describe him as a researcher who pairs rigorous quantitative skills with curiosity-driven experiments, able to translate complex models into testable biological hypotheses. He maintains an active academic profile and invites interested collaborators to explore his research online.
