It always feels nice to be able to give something back to your alma mater. It has been 10 years since an 18 yo me completed his undergraduate and got introduced to the wonderful world of evolutionary biology and phylogenetic inference 😊

Today at WashU’s EEB seminar, I presented a new species diversification model that incorporates regional species diversity into rates of evolution through time (a joint work w/ @landismj.bsky.social).

Preprint hopefully will be here this month #evobio

[1/11] A quick rundown to our density-dependent biogeographic model of species diversification below:

P.S. Preprint coming up soon! #Evol2025

What a blast attending my first in-person Evolution meetings!
Had the opportunity to present our work on:

1. A new biogeographic model of species diversification that accounts for species richness.

2. Phylogeography model for infectious disease transmission with visitor dynamics.

Honored to be elected as a member of the
@sigmaxi.bsky.social
- one of the oldest honor societies in science.

Thank you to the two anonymous committee members for the nomination!

About 11 years ago, I received financial support from Van-Deventer Maas Indonesia (VDMI) to fund my undergraduate studies.

Fast-forward to 2025, I will be sharing about living and working abroad from a perspective of an international scholar.

Thank you VDMI for organizing this event!

Our article on "matrix-analytic methods for the evolution of species trees, gene trees, and their reconciliation" is recently published on Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability journal. #evobio

Earlier this year my advisor @landismj.bsky.social and I published this cool work at BMB; looking at applying diffusion in macroevolutionary context for state-dependent diversification models to learn about evolutionary patterns that these models produce. #evobio

Just recently joined Bluesky to connect with phylo community here. So, here is my first trace on this platform :)

I am a postdoc in Landis lab at WashU and a mathematician by training with interests in models of species diversification and phylodynamics. #evobio
