About
/about/

I am an integrative marine eco-physiologist. I strive to understand how the immediate abiotic environment and biotic interactions drive organism phenotype, ecological patterning, and evolutionary processess through the interaction of symbiosis, genetics, and epigenetics.

I am dedicated to open, rigorous, and reproducible experiments and analyses.
