Summary
I am a systematic evolutionary biologist conducting collections-based research that aims to document and understand the taxonomic, phenotypic and genetic diversity of vertebrates. The three groups of organisms that are the focus of my research are caecilian amphibians, (mostly burrowing) snakes, and Triassic archosauriforms.
