Dr. Wedow's main research interest is in sociogenomics, which lies at the intersection of demography and statistical & computational genetics. He is interested in how the human genome interacts with everyday life experiences to shape behavioral outcomes. He is also interested in building better computational models for genomic identification and prediction.
Dr. Wedow completed his Ph.D. at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2018.
