Welcome! I'm a PhD candidate in the Department of Integrative Biology and Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at UC Berkeley.
​
My research integrates evolutionary genomics and evolutionary physiology to unravel the mechanisms of adaptive evolution.

The Nachman lab is in incredibly fortunate to have Mohamed Noor visiting us while on sabbatical. I've had an absolute pleasure hanging out with Mohamed over the past few months, talking science and enjoying Bay Area cuisine. Mohamed and I collaborated on a small project, highlighting a recent article on the role of lethal alleles in natural populations. Check out our Trends in Genetics Spotlight here!
