Aditya received his PhD in physics at Stanford University with interests in statistical and biological physics. As a PhD student Aditya he worked on understanding the evolution of biodiversity through mathematical models. How do ecological dynamics, from resource competition to host-pathogen interactions, influence the trajectory of evolution? What evolutionary forces, from drift to selection to recombination, lead to the immense biodiversity we see across vast spatiotemporal scales in nature? What are mechanisms for the coexistence of fine-scale diversity and how can we understand these theoretically?
Members of the NITMB community are invited to join us for Work-In-Progress meetings, an informal venue an informal venue for members of the NITMB to discuss ongoing and/or planned research.
