Senior🎓
Top SchoolCheyenne Payne is a marine biologist and computational genomics researcher applying population genetics to real-world conservation. As a Postdoctoral Researcher with NOAA and UC Santa Cruz, she analyzes gene flow, demographic history, and hybridization in trout (Oncorhynchus) to inform state and federal management strategies. Her PhD work at Stanford explored the genetic basis of ecological traits and the role of hybridization in adaptive evolution, using genomics, expression analysis, and developmental biology across swordtail fishes. She holds a BS in Marine Biology and Computer Science from UC San Diego, equipping her with computational and experimental skills across wet lab and bioinformatics. With eight years of experience, she has bridged academia, government research, and high-performance computational work at institutions like Scripps and MBARI. Based in Palo Alto, she brings a rare blend of field-relevant conservation insight and rigorous genomic analysis to translate complex data into actionable policy and management.
