Amy Goldberg, PhD Student, Stanford University
I am a fifth year PhD student in Biology at Stanford University, working with Dr. Noah Rosenberg. I completed my Bachelor's in Mathematics and Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Michigan in 2012.

Both a population geneticist and anthropologist by training, I study the population biology of humans and related species. I develop methods to study population histories and dynamics, integrating techniques from population genetics, ecology, and archeology. Additionally, I am interested in the genetic signatures of sex-specific processes on the autosomes and X chromosome, including mutation, recombination, and admixture.

I am an incoming Miller Fellow at Berkeley this summer, and assistant professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke.
