Epernicus: Daniel Ortiz-Barrientos, Ph.D.

Daniel Ortiz-Barrientos, Ph.D.

Position:
Assistant Professor

Biological Sciences

The University of Queensland
Degrees:

Ph.D., Evolutionary Genetics, Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge, LA)
Past Advisors:

Loren H. Rieseberg (as Post Doctoral Fellow)

Mohamed Noor (as Graduate Student - Ph.D.)
Research:
Plant Evolutionary Genetics

The OB Lab combines genetics, ecology, bioinformatics, and molecular biology to understand the origin of new plant species. We are particularly interested on the genetics of speciation with gene flow, the genetics of ecologically divergent traits, and the role of sexual selection in creating reproductive barriers between species. The OB Lab is part of the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Queensland in Australia.
Honors:
2007 Young Investigator, American Society of Naturalists

2006 Larry Sandler Award, Genetics Society of America

2006 Izaac Walton Killam Fellowship

1999 Best Student in Program, Universidad de Antioquia
