Research

I address questions in evolutionary biology through development, implementation, and application of new phylogenetic methods. These include approaches for examining the process of continuous trait evolution (rate, optimal values, and other factors), species delimitation, phylogeography, diversification analyses, biogeography, and more. I also collaborate extensively with empiricists, including some of my own students.

Publications: Papers

According to Google Scholar, my work has been cited 3299 times, and my h-index is 20. (Google Scholar tends to overestimate citations, however). Also note that I work under a very stringent criterion for when I get authorship -- I have to actively make a significant contribution to the research and writing to merit authorship. For example, in 2015-6, three lab members had papers in Science (grad student Sam Borstein, postdoc Nick Matzke, and postdoc Sandy Kawano) but I am, appropriately to my mind, not an author on any of these.

Teaching

University Courses

I created a course on macroevolution targeted at upper level undergraduate and graduate students: we cover diversification, symbiosis, game theory, and more. I have also taught large introductory courses and small discussion seminars. Note that the "HOFF joint lab group discussion" was a collaborative lab group meeting of the Hulsey-O'Meara-Fordyce-Fitzpatrick labs.

Mentoring, Postdocs

I have mentored numerous postdocs off of my own grants and/or as one of their chosen NIMBioS mentors. Note that NIMBioS postdocs pursue independent research projects but choose one faculty member to mentor them in math and another to mentor them in biology (I have served in both roles).
