Department of Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology

My research focuses on biomechanics and functional morphology. My dissertation work focused on long bone loading, material properties, and locomotor biomechanics in sloths and primates. I have expertise in 3D kinematics, inverse dynamics, strain gauge instrumentation, comparative anatomical dissections, micro‑CT analysis, and cadaveric tissue material testing. Here, I will be working with Dr. Jessica Tingle on snake locomotion and morphology.
