Summary

I am an integrative marine biologist with a research focus on sound as a tool to study marine communities and marine mammal communication and behavior. My research involves the use of phylogenies, field observations, autonomous underwater recording systems, and unmanned aerial vehicles to understand the evolutionary and ecological factors shaping marine communities and marine animal communicative signals.
