Research Interests |
|||||||||||
|
I tend to
think about myself as a comparative functional morphologist,
interested in the ways animals use their “toolkits”
to function in ecologicaly-relevant situations, and
in the evolutionary implications of these “toolkits”
on their ecology. Currently, I am interested in the
ways hydrodynamics modulates the relationship between
form and function; interpretation of these relationships
that seem intuitive on land are not at all trivial
in water...
