About Me

I am a functional morphologist and evolutionary biologist broadly interested in the factors that shape phenotypic diversification. I am particularly interested in the diverse morphological and behavioral traits that animals employ to interface with their environment.

I received my PhD as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow from the George Washington University in Dr. Sandy Kawano's lab. My PhD work investigated the morphological and biomechanical adaptations of salamander locomotion across habitat gradients. Mainly, I focused on traits associated with climbing and water-land transitions. My other areas of research include fish feeding morphology, diversification of adhesive organs, development of new programs and tools, and ecomorphology of lizards.
