Research Interest

My overall research interests involve finding answers to fundamental questions regarding the tempo and mode of evolutionary processes as they apply to morphological evolution and speciation. The fossil record is the primary source of information about rates and patterns of evolution as it allows for a deep-time perspective coupled with the potential to use rigorous statistical techniques
