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

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.

Plant immune responses to herbivores and their regulation by the circadian clock

Functional morphology, biomechanics, morphological evolution

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

My research focuses on understanding how the architecture of bone tissue and its composition can provide insights into the physiology, growth rates, and life history of extinct tetrapods.

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

Community ecology and biodiversity patterns of Paleocene mammals

I am interested in broadly investigating the evolution and extinction of early mammals through their ecology, morphology, and systematics.

Identify and characterize epidermal regulators of nociceptive C4da neuron structure and function in Drosophila larvae

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

Tropical hummingbird ecology and foraging patterns

Analysis of beaked animals in the fossil record

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

Marine community ecology and echinoderm biology
