Allison Yi Hsiang Forskare

I am a computational paleobiologist who focuses on using and developing novel computational methods to understand macroevolutionary patterns and processes through time and space. Currently, I am a co-PI on the Wallenberg-funded project "Harnessing evolutionary transitions, machine learning, and genomics to decode pollen", focusing on developing a large image and morphometric database of pollen using high-throughput imaging and convolutional neural networks.

I was previously based in the Department of Geological Sciences at SU (2021-2025), where I was supported by a Vetenskapsrådet starting researcher grant and working on quantifying large-scale, community-level morphological evolution of planktonic foraminifera across the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) mass extinction event.
