I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher working with Aaron Johnson. My research interests include:
-
The effects of vertebral geometry on local mechanical joint behavior during dynamic motion
-
The effects of changes in local joint behavior on whole physical agent behavior
-
The intersection of paleobiology and bio-inspired robotics.
I blend a rigorous background in evolution and anatomy with physical and computational modeling to investigate locomotion of stem tetrapods
