Research Interests


I am an integrative behavioral ecologists and ornithologist. Broadly, my research interests include:

  1. How and why animals use certain traits?

  2. What is the response of traits in dynamic environments?

  3. How do non-expert publics engage with EEB?

My dissertation research aims to understand:

  1. How iridescence evolved across birds in North America?

  2. What is the function of iridescence across birds in North America?

  3. What do artists learn when collaborating with scientists on an art project?
