Julia Palacios received her doctorate in Statistics from the University of Washington studying under Vladimir Minin, and joined the Ramachandran Lab in October 2013. She also works in the Wakeley lab at Harvard. Her primary research interest is the inference of effective population size from multilocus sequence data.

Priya Nakka majored in Chemistry at Wellesley College and joined the Computational Biology PhD program and the Ramachandran Lab in June 2013. Priya is currently working on inferring the history of selection at risk alleles associated with leukemia across multiple human ethnicities.

Aaron is a senior undergraduate at Brown concentrating in Biology and Computer Science. He joined the Ramachandran lab in June 2014, and is developing a software package for use in analysis of population structure. His work over the summer is being funded by an UTRA.

Lilla joined the lab during summer 2012 and works on our disease biogeography database, which is a collaboration with EEB faculty member Kate Smith. The Ramachandran Lab heads the bioinformatics portion of the project. Lilla is graduating from Wheeler High School in Providence in June 2014 and matriculating at Emory University. She will continue working through summer 2014.
