Specific Interests
My research includes disparity of the North American Multituberculata across the KT boundary, and locomotor mechanics and ecology of Cenozoic large mammals. I am working within the R platform for my thesis on multituberculate disparity, writing analytical tools for performing principal coordinate analysis and multivariate statistics on discrete morphological character matrices.
I am also interested in educational outreach programming in vertebrate paleontology and general science, introducing high school students to field and classroom opportunities in earth and life science through comprehensive outdoor education.
