My name is Matt Myers, and I'm a fifth-year PhD student in Ben Raphael's group in the Computer Science Department at Princeton University. I'm planning to finish in August 2022 and am looking for a research staff position!

My research is in computational biology: I am generally interested in developing principled computational methods to extract information from -omics data. Recently, my work has focused on algorithms for inferring cancer evolution from DNA sequencing data (see below). My other interests include birdwatching, nature photography, veganism, music, and cooking.
