To uncover how the mechanics of the inner ears aids directional hearing in fishes.

Using field studies and remote sensing to understand global change impacts on the performance, ecological interactions, and population dynamics of Galapagos and Magellanic penguins.

To understand the biotic recovery of mammals following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction

I'm interested in the speciation process with a focus on the processes that drive reproductive isolation

I focus on understanding the role of physical asymmetry in fly neural stem cells with the goal to bridge the gap between misregulation of stem cell division and the long-term consequences on organismal development.

Using data science methods to explore species interactions.

Functional morphology, biomechanics, morphological evolution

Understand how organisms change their allocation of energetic resources as environmental conditions change.

Crop responses to a changing climate, mitigation and adaptation in agricultural systems

My research focuses on using bone tissue microstructure as a proxy for growth and life history in Permo-Triassic vertebrate fossils.

I am studying how Pacific Northwest climate and plant communities responded to a global warming event in Earth's past.

I am broadly interested in improving and developing Bayesian phylogenetic methods, with a focus on birth-death models.

The mechanics of cell-scale shape changes.

Study the evolution of auxin signal transduction proteins in flowering plants using synthetic biology techniques.

Connect changes in prey availability and toxicant exposure to killer whale gut microbiome variation and reproductive success.

Tropical hummingbird ecology and foraging patterns

Landscape evolution through paleobotany and isotopic analyses, spread of grasslands in the Neotropics and biological implications

Marine community ecology and echinoderm biology

Uncovering how environmental stressors affect primate genomics and aging.
