Ted Cosart

Ted Cosart studies the computational aspects of genetic analysis as a PhD student in the NSF's IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education Research Traineeships) program at the University of Montana. In collaboration with biologists exploring the genetic components of ecology he applies his training in computer science to problems associated with genetic data, including the following recent work:
