I am interested in the reproduction, development, and evolution of both invertebrates and vertebrates. My current research addresses questions concerning how freshwater and marine invertebrates fertilize their eggs, how fertilized eggs develop into different life cycle stages (e.g., larva, juvenile, and adult), and how larval dispersal affects geographic genetic diversity. The techniques that I use in my research include microscopy, both normal and high speed video, and molecular techniques.
