Ryan McGee, University of Washington

I am a first year grad student working with Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington. I am interested in understanding natural evolutionary processes and harnessing the power of these processes to solve-real world problems across science and engineering. In particular, I am investigating the role that information processing has in evolution at multiple scales and how biological computation systems evolve. How does evolution act as an information-encoding process? How do information processing systems evolve? To address such questions, I am exploring a combination of experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches. In my free time, I love being outdoors, playing recreational sports, checking out live music, and messing around with musical instruments.
