Curriculum Vitae

Teaching Interests

Vertebrate physiology and ecology

I strive to enable students to develop a broad and deep conceptual
understanding of biology, from the mechanistic bases of structure and function of cells and organisms to the spatiotemporal ecological patterns and their causal processes

Teaching Statement

Research Interests

Lizard energetics, ecology and evolution

My field of research is evolutionary ecology, with a focus on evolutionary autecology. Evolutionary autecology is the integrated analysis of the behavior, morphotype, and physiology in both ecological and evolutionary contexts in an endeavor to understand adaptation, adaptedness, and adaptability

Research Statement

About Me

I seek to motivate students to begin a rising trajectory of life-long learning, by
stimulating their curiosity and revealing the joys of discovering reliable knowledge,
understanding, and wisdom
