I am a physicist with dual training in philosophy, deeply passionate about the origins of life and complex systems. I’m currently completing my Ph.D. in physics at the Université de Montréal.
11+
12+
I have worked on several models and theories of complexity derived from statistical physics, including network theory and self-organized criticality. I have also investigated how various physical phenomena, such as perturbations or diffusion, influence the emergence of cooperation in evolutionary environments, and am also interested in recent applications of frameworks such as assembly theory and information theory to the origins of life. In addition to my research work, I am also involved in the Origin of Life Early Career Network and publish the Origin of Life Digest.

Before starting the Mathis-Group, I was a Research Lab Coordinator in the Beyond Center at Arizona State University, working with Professor Sara Walker and the ELife Lab.Previously I was a NASA Astrobiology Fellow focused on on Agnostic Biosignatures and Life Detection. Prior to that I was a post doctoral researcher and Team Leader at the University of Glasgow, working in the artificial life team of Professor Lee Cronin's lab.

I am an early-career scientist with an interdisciplinary approach to problems concerning the origin of life on Earth. I am excited to join the Mathis-Group in Fall 2024 as a PhD student. My research interests include biosignature detection, instrument and mission design, and prebiotic chemistry.

I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a bachelor’s degree in biology. In addition to my foundational biology education, I have a strong, interdisciplinary background in physics, microbiology, computer science, and genomics. My senior thesis project was titled “Modeling the population dynamics of a human Mars colony in the event of catastrophe”, where I modeled four different catastrophic event scenarios and the feasibility of moving a small proportion of the human population to Mars.

In the summer of 2023, I completed an internship at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Planetary Protection Microbiology. It was at Goddard where I found my passion for the intersection between microbiology, space exploration, and contamination engineering. My summer projects included researching genes and metabolic pathways relevant to the survival of microbes in Goddard’s cleanrooms, establishing new molecular biology capabilities for the Planetary Protection lab with the addition of a DNA sequencing instrument, and designing and executing an extraction efficiency experiment at the request of NASA Headquarters. I hope to continue my collaboration with NASA as a graduate student.

Aside from my research, I have a strong interest in science education, as well as accessibility and inclusion in STEM.

I am looking forward to exploring new opportunities with the Mathis-Group as I pursue my PhD in Complex Adaptive System Science at ASU.

The Mathis Group aims to conduct high quality, reproducible, interdisciplinary research. Research of this nature requires a team with a diverse skillset, and with diverse backgrounds — the most interesting questions cannot be answered by a single mind. The name of 'Mathis-Group' is not intended suggest the PI the only intellectual contributor to the team's success. The name was chosen because it is simple, and unambiguously locates the entire team with the most persistent individual in the group. This is important considering the ever-shifting Arizona State University ecosystem, including the Biodesign Institute, and the School of Complex Adaptive Systems, which have their own idiosyncratic naming conventions.
