Thanks for visiting my website! I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Cincinnati, Postdoctoral training at Florida Atlantic University, and recently took the position of Executive Director of Academic Affairs at FAU in Jupiter. My research centers on characterizing the evolutionary, genetic and neural mechanisms that contribute to behavior and novel traits. Read more in the following pages!

RECENT RESEARCH NEWS
Nice dispatch by Nature Communications, highlighting our recent eLife paper! We identify HCRT signaling underlies sleep loss in cavefish.
We developed a novel system to simultaneously measure sleep and metabolic rate in single fruit flies! Importantly, this system, combined with the genetic tools in Drosophila, now enables us to manipulate single genes and determine their impacts on sleep state!
