I received my B.A. from Middlebury College, and my Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, both in Computer Science, followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard. My research uses data mining and machine learning to better understand the natural world and the place of humans in it. My primary research focus has been studying the role of the microbiome in human disease, and developing software for analyzing metagenomics data. I have also done some analysis of the sustainability of various activities in modern civilization. In 2015, I was named a McKnight Land-Grant Professor by the University of Minnesota.
