My students and I ask questions about how invertebrate animals develop, how they function, and how they have evolved. My specific research projects tend to focus on the evolution of development and the functional morphology of larvae in animals whose embryos undergo spiral cleavage (e.g., annelid worms, like the serpulid Protula as an adult above, and as embryos and larva below). I mostly study marine animals but am happy to work in freshwater now and then. I study and teach about these animals and topics as assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at California State University, Long Beach.

STUDENT RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES!
I enjoy working with undergraduate and graduate students in research on a diversity of topics in invertebrate biology. Look at my research page and abstracts of papers I've written to get a better sense of my own specific interests (worms, worms, and more worms, apparently), but note that I am delighted to help with work on many different topics and taxa. My lab is equipped to answer questions with descriptive and experimental techniques including larval culture, light and electron microscopy, video microscopy, basic DNA analyses, and many sorts of field work; many more techniques are also accessible through collaboration with other CSU Long Beach faculty or faculty at nearby institutions. If you are interested in doing research in my lab, please contact me! I'm always willing to discuss project ideas you've come up with based on your coursework or field or lab observations, or to suggest projects that I think are interesting.
