Research Interests
Broadly speaking, I am interested in combining experimental and modeling techniques to understand the role of individual behaviors in shaping population-level ecological interactions. Specifically, I am interested in 1) swimming performance of marine plankton, its relationship with physiologies, particularly in response to environmental variations such as ocean acidification, and its implications on population dynamics; 2) Functional morphology of marine plankton and its evolutionary implications. As an educator, I am interested in developing instructional techniques that would improve students’ understanding of and interest in the scientific process.
