Nicolas Rodrigue

Nicolas Rodrigue is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Carleton University, with a cross appointment in Biology. He holds degrees from Bishop's University (BA), McGill University (BSc), École de technologie supérieure (MSc), and Université de Montréal (PhD). His research focuses on Bayesian modeling of molecular evolution, particularly protein-coding genes and evolutionary forces like mutation, selection, and drift. He also explores Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, protein structure modeling, and next-generation sequencing for viral/microbial evolution studies.
