My research focuses on inferring the ecology and paleobiology of terrestrial vertebrates—mainly through the microstructure of their biomineralized tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and eggshells.
Methods I use include histology, light microscopy, and X-ray computed tomography to visualize and quantify morphoanatomical traits in such structures, as well as cutting-edge phylogenetic comparative methods to assess their functional interactions and reconstruct their evolutionary history.
I am also a teacher and mentor to graduate and undergraduate students in my department, and share my passion for biology and paleontology with diverse communities through various outreach initiatives.
