Rohan Mehta

I am an Assistant Professor of Biology at Elmhurst University. I study evolutionary theory and population genetics. My primary research interests are:

• Effects of evolutionary processes on the shapes of gene genealogies [7, 2, 1]
• Evolution of complex interactions [8, 6]
• Properties of mathematical quantities used in the study of evolving populations [4]
• Epidemiology and human behavior [5]

Other topics I have worked on include:

• Foraging theory [3]
• Evolution of cooperation [9]

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Daniel Weissman at Emory University. I obtained my PhD from Stanford University, under Noah Rosenberg. I obtained my BS in Biology and in Mathematics from the University of California, San Diego, where I worked with Lin Chao, Carolyn Kurle, and Jonathan Shurin.
