Bio:

Broadly-trained biologist with expertise in Evolutionary Biology, Chemical Ecology, Genomics, and Neurobiology. My work focuses on understanding the role of the chemosensory systems in the adaptation of animals to their environment, their contribution to fitness, and how variation in those systems affects behavior and the evolution of mating systems. To this end, I use an interdisciplinary approach including molecular techniques, phylogenetics, and comparative genomics.
