The web presence for the group of Peter L. Ralph at the University of Oregon. I am a member of the Institute of Ecology and Evolution, and am a member of the department of Data Science. (Previously, I was in the departments of Mathematics and Biology.) I'm also a co-lead with Andy Kern in the Kern-Ralph Co-Lab, which has a more up-to-date list of "people in the lab", "research", etcetera. I'm also a core member of the tskit group and stdpopsim consortium, helping to build new powerful, stable, and reproducible tools to population genetics and related fields.

We work at the intersection of evolutionary biology, population genetics, probability, and statistics: developing theory about how populations evolve, adapt, and speciate; creating inference methods (and software) for genomic analysis; and doing data analysis on population genomics datasets. A focus is on geography: local adaptation, isolation by distance, and geographically explicit genomic datasets; but our work also ventures into phylogenetics and the evolution of gene regulatory networks.

Have a look at our people, publications, and teaching and events. Code, and some papers in progress, generally live on github.
