To add your photo, upload an image and give it the "destination" file name of "firstname_lastname_face.jpg"-- if you keep this file name, your image will appear automatically in the gallery below. If you have a personal web page, click the "edit" button above this section, then find the fake URL that has your name (it will be firstname_lastname.com) and replace this with the real URL. You can also create a user page on this wiki (see Karen and Hilmar for examples). To see participant's skills (declared in applications) refer to the skills table below.

Chris Baron viz flow grft NeX mash WS
Christopher Baron Comments: I'm a web developer with little background in evolutionary biology, I can do front end and back end. Currently, I've developing a web application that allows users to upload source trees, as well as prune, replace, and graft together larger trees from these source trees using a graphical interface rather than sophisticated algorithms.

Participant Picture Comments: I am interested in interoperability and reuse of software and data, and have considerable experience in data and metadata modeling, software architecture, and API design for reuse.

Emily Jane McTavish Comments: My background is phylogenetics, and some bioinformatics. I'm most comfortable with python, fine with SQL, knew C++ and could probably remember if pressed. I'm particularly interested in how to incorporate uncertainty from source trees into phylotastic output, and make it handy without being dangerously blackboxy.

Siavash Mirarab scale flow graft tnrs WS
Siavash Mirarab Comments: I am interested in TNRS, but have little experience with it. I am familiar with gene duplication concepts, so I can help with the reconciliation use case (if included). I work on meta-genomics, so I can help with a meta-genomic use case.

Arlin Stoltzfus Comments: I have experience (as a developer or project manager or scientist) with viz (Nexplorer); a toolbox with tree operations (Bio::NEXUS); fossil-based calibrations (Norris & Stoltzfus, in review); automated workflow for gene-family trees (De Kee, et al. 2007); documentation (NeXML; Bio::NEXUS; Nexplorer); an ontology (CDAO). I am familiar with a variety of phylotastic-relevant use-cases (Stoltzfus, et al., in review).

Christian Zmasek Comments: I am using phylogenetic trees (gene trees) as tools for comparative and functional genomics.
Rutger A. Vos tree prov scale viz flow doc graft NeX mash tnrs WS
Rutger A. Vos Comments: I am guilty of developing NeXML, which might become one of the output formats because it allows for semantic annotation of trees, nodes, taxa, etc. I've also implemented PhyloWS services for TreeBASE, and wrapper PhyloWS services for ToLWeb, uBio, TimeTree.
