Edward Braun is broadly interested in the evolution of genomes and organisms. Specific research interests include: Comparative genomics and molecular evolution Phylogenetics and systematics, Patterns of gene duplication and gene loss and Phylogenetic theory. His current research emphasizes the use of computational and mathematical approaches to understand evolution at various levels ranging from genes to whole organisms. His teaching foci are genetics and genomics. His graduate teaching has focused on phylogenetic comparative methods, phylogenomics and molecular evolution.
