The Aris-Brosou lab (version française)
We work in Computational Molecular Evolution. The themes we address are quite diverse:
- phylogenetics
- viral evolution
- microbiology / ecotoxicology
- seabird ecology
All have in common the development of algorithms taking inspiration from or based on:
- likelihood
- Bayesian modeling and computing
- machine learning (supervised or not, going deep!)
- graph theory (networks)
- time series analysis
- anything that works
Research facilities
A small computer cluster was purchased from Sun Microsystems (Oracle now) back in 2007 thanks to a CFI grant with one X2200, three X4100 and two X4600 servers; iMacs and PC xeon boxes (for legacy) are available as workstations.
Most of our computing is now using Compute Canada:
Source code and data sets that we produce are available on Git:
Our funding comes essentially from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) through its Discovery Grant program:
