Research:
I have been fascinated by how organisms work and develop and am now applying my past experience with model systems in the lab to organisms that exhibit unsolved problems in the field.
In the lab I use factorial designs to study the physiology and development of organisms including invertebrates, fish and plants; in the field I use general additive models to relate field observations to environmental variables and factors.
