Research summary
AI-generated

Laura Kubatko develops statistical and computational methods for reconstructing evolutionary trees and relationships among species using genetic data, with particular focus on modeling how gene histories can differ from species histories (a framework called the multispecies coalescent). Her work spans theoretical statistics, phylogenetics software development, and applications including hybridization detection, cancer progression modeling, and viral evolution analysis.

Publication output has remained fairly steady over the past decade, with a peak in 2023 followed by a decline in the most recent two years, likely reflecting incomplete recent indexing.
