Evolution * Ecology * Biophotonics

ABOUT

I am a plant organismal and evolutionary biologist, and I use tools from biology and biophotonics to understand the evolution of traits experiencing selection from multiple agents at different biological scales. In the past, I have worked primarily on fruit coloration, especially structural colors in plants. Currently, I am a postdoc in Dan Park’s lab at Purdue University. Previously, I completed my PhD at Yale University in 2019 with Michael Donoghue, worked as a postdoc with Stacey Smith at the University of Colorado-Boulder and Silvia Vignolini at the University of Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. I am also a visiting postdoc in Sönke Johnsen’s lab at Duke University.
