Research Interests
I am a molecular systematist and entomologist. My principle research area is the systematics and biogeography of the damselflies of Pacific islands. I have worked extensively in Hawaii and the Marquesas Islands. My recent postdoc in France involved the comparative genomics and phylogenetics of the Capra genus, and testing for selection signatures at multiple nuclear loci.

Recent Activities:

NSF-funded postdoctoral researcher at the CNRS Laboratoire d'Ecologie Alpine, Grenoble, France with Dr. Pierre Taberlet and Dr. Gordon Luikart.
