Ben Wilson

Ben is a Population Geneticist at AncestryDNA.  He received his B.S. from the University of Arizona where he worked with Joanna Mazel. As a Graduate Student in Petrov Lab 2010-2015), Ben was interested in the theoretical population genetics of adaptation, particularly in populations that fluctuate in size over various time-scales. He was also interested in how complex adaptive landscapes contribute to the evolutionary trajectories we see in adaptation.
