I'm a computational population geneticist. I work on inference and simulation, with a particular interest in simulation-based inference and deep learning.

Most of what I build starts as a tool I want for my own research. Some of it turns into software; some of it turns into notes and guides.

Research software

• cxt — coalescent translation
• fastcxt — faster tools for coalescent translation
• fastrho — fine-scale recombination maps from population genotypes
• ancify — ancestral allele polarization
• pysinger — a Python implementation of SINGER

Notes and guides

• FLI — a friendly guide to likelihood-based inference
• watchgen — The Watchmaker's Guide to Population Genetics
• seqtec — notes on sequencing technologies

Simulation catalogs

• stdvoidsim — standard population genetic models
• stdferdowsim and stdgrimmsim — experimental stdpopsim fork catalogs
