I am currently a Vice-Provost Postdoctoral Fellow in Academic Diversity working with Daniel E. Koditschek. My research interests include: 

  1. The effects of vertebral geometry on local joint behavior during dynamic motion

  2. The effects of changes in local joint behavior on whole physical agent behavior

  3. 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
