Biography

My lab is interested in evolutionary and comparative biomechanics, utilizing experimental techniques to explore changes in functional morphology subjected to environmental conditions. We aim to understand phenotypic plasticity and its influences on evolutionary processes through our work in muscle physiology, hydrodynamics, and vertebrate evolution. By examining comparative physiology and anatomy, we strive to uncover the underlying mechanisms affecting animal behavior and evolutionary outcomes. Our research focuses on comparative evolutionary biomechanics, contributing to the larger understanding of these disciplines and their interactions.
