Hi, I’m Shelby Cox.

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan working with David Speyer. I work in algebraic statistics and use tools from tropical geometry, algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and combinatorics. I am particularly interested in problems in phylogenetics. I received my B.S. in mathematics and B.A. in linguistics from UMass Amherst, where I was advised by Jenia Tevelev.

Here is my CV.
