Emily Dolson, Assistant Professor
MSU Department:  Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Ph.D., Michigan State University, 2019
Research in my lab focuses on steering evolution in complex ecological communities, often by taking advantage of spatial heterogeneity. We study digital organisms with an emphasis on applications to evolutionary computation, cancer, and microbiome research.
