Population Genomics & Predictive Evolution

Clarkson University

Chimaroke Onyeaghala is a PhD student at Clarkson University, working at the interface of microbial evolution, population genomics, and computational modeling. His research focuses on understanding how environmental heterogeneity shapes adaptation, genetic diversification, and evolutionary trajectories in microbial systems. He combines experimental evolution, whole-genome sequencing, and statistical modeling to track, predict, and ultimately inform strategies to combat challenges such as antimicrobial resistance and rapid pathogen adaptation.
