Hi there! I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences here at Yale University. My dissertation explores evolutionary novelty and innovation in the locomotor and trophic systems of reptiles. I use a number of methods to address this subject, including morphometrics, 3D mesh manipulation, and embryological work. For more information on my dissertation work and future research plans, please check out the CV attached below.
