Hello!

I am Egor Lappo! I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Biology at Stanford University, working with Prof. Noah Rosenberg.

I am interested in data, math, evolution, populations, and culture. In 2022, I have graduated with a B.S. with Honors in Mathematics from Stanford. I was advised by Ciprian Manolescu.

Apart from research, I am interested in chess, knitting, functional programming, music, and video essays on YouTube.

You can take a look at my CV or my Google Scholar profile for more information!

Code

Here are some of my coding projects you might find useful.

  • rustwf is a program to run simulations of Wright-Fisher models that I have written while learning Rust. It is exceptionally simple, but also really fast!
  • tree_graphics is a small Haskell program that draws trees given their Newick encoding. I use it when I need example trees for presentations or papers.
  • The Python code in the ac_lattices repository can be used to compute lattices of ancestral configurations and draw every figure in the “lattice paper” (arXiv).
