Professor Simon Ho leads the Molecular Ecology, Evolution, and Phylogenetics Lab at the University of Sydney's School of Life and Environmental Sciences. With expertise in molecular clocks and phylogenomics, he investigates evolutionary timescales across diverse taxa including birds, marsupials, and insects. His research integrates genomic data with fossil records to reconstruct evolutionary histories and quantify diversification patterns.
Key research areas include molecular clock theory, conservation genomics, and phylogeography. Ho's work often addresses how climate change and geological events drive speciation and population dynamics. His lab develops computational methods for analyzing evolutionary rate variation and divergence dating.
Recent publications consistently demonstrate applications of Bayesian tip dating, genomic rate decomposition, and conservation prioritization frameworks. Articles frequently combine contemporary genomic data with paleontological evidence to resolve longstanding questions in evolutionary biology.
