Biography

I am an invertebrate biologist with interests spanning ecology, development, and phylogenetics. My previous work has focused on the ecology and evolution of larval development in invertebrates, particularly the brittle stars. My current research projects are concerned with the effect of combined, pulsed changes in temperature, salinity, pH, and turbidity on Pacific blue mussels.
