Who eats who in the deep ocean?

The deep ocean is full of mysteries: unexplored mountains, undiscovered species, and untold ecological interactions. Most of you don't know me yet (hi!), but I'm in incoming Associate Professor at…

Quantifying muscle anatomy in elongate fishes

My research focuses on the functional role of the caudal fin (the tail) in fishes, particularly in elongate (eel-like) fishes. Many elongate fishes have small caudal fins, but they are not entirely…

Exploring the food chain in the equatorial tropical Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean hosts one of the most lucrative wild fisheries on earth: tuna. Despite its $40B annual price tag, our understanding of the biology of tunas is surprisingly sparse in their larval…

Biomechanics of acceleration in fishes

How do fish accelerate? Many researchers have studied the biomechanics of steady swimming, but there is much less known about acceleration, even though most fishes rarely swim steadily. In this…

From crawling to inching, evolutionary biomechanics of caterpillar locomotion

This project explores how different species of caterpillars—despite all being soft-bodied—have evolved unique ways of crawling and climbing. Some species use many prolegs for support, while others…
