People
Our lab tries to bring together researchers with diverse backgrounds in ecology, evolutionary biology, computer science, and statistics to develop innovative approaches to understanding complex biological systems.
Principal Investigator
Dr. Russell Dinnage
Research Assistant Professor
Department of Biological Sciences
Florida International University
Dr. Dinnage's research program develops foundation models for organismal biology - artificial intelligence systems that learn from and help us understand living systems at scales from molecules to ecosystems. His work spans across phylogenetic ecology, species distribution modeling, and the application of machine learning to biological problems.
