Shedding light on mobile protein signaling mechanisms that are induced by environmental signals and translated into developmental responses.

I study the evolution of crocodile-line archosaurs and their evolutionary convergence with early dinosaurs.

My goal is to have an impact in bats' conservation through investigating their physiological, morphological and behavioral plasticity.

My research investigates the mechanisms and functional consequences of morphological diversification in bats, using an interdisciplinary framework that integrates biomechanics, comparative anatomy, physiology, behavior and ecology

Delimiting species boundaries of insular flora and determining the forces behind their diversification.

Develop a greater understanding of the molecular basis of genetic regulation in plants that underlies plant development and responses to pathogens.

I'm currently studying bacterial plasmids. My projects aim to understand under what conditions vertical or horizontal transfer is favored and to identify bacterial genes that affect plasmid carriage.

Develop multidisciplinary methods for the calibration, analysis, and understanding of biological agent-based models.

Understanding spatiotemporal cellular signaling involved in various directional migration.

Collective behavior in schooling fish

I am mapping out the biodiversity of early mammals by examining the diversity dynamics of Campanian (Late Cretaceous) mammals in north-central Montana.

Tropical hummingbird ecology and foraging patterns

Analysis of beaked animals in the fossil record

I aim to study death-related social behaviors and dynamics in annually eusocial bumblebees.
