In order to study the interplay of complex traits, gene expression, and evolution in diverse biological systems, I have merged the tropical fieldwork that I completed as a graduate student with the computational analysis I've undertaken as a post-doc.
My research incorporates behavior, genetics and neuroscience to more fully understand adaptation. An important goal of my postdoctoral training is to identify and functionally describe the genetic loci that contribute to diverse adaptations in animal groups, and subsequently, to understand how differences in gene regulation contribute to phenotypic variation.
