Summary

I am an Biology Assistant Professor at University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky. My current research interest involves investigating neural, genetic and epigenetic mechanism regulating latitudinal cline in critical photoperiodic response, daily clock under different life-history states, and circannual clock properties of geographically distinct dark-eyed junco populations in North America.

I am an Biology Assistant Professor at University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky. My current research interest involves investigating neural, genetic and epigenetic mechanism regulating latitudinal cline in critical photoperiodic response, daily clock under different life-history states, and circannual clock properties of geographically distinct dark-eyed junco populations in North America. Our lab is presently focused on investigating 1) Neuroendocrine mechanisms regulating seasonal reproductive timing in a North American songbird populations breeding at different latitudes, 2) Anthropogenic impact on migratory and reproductive timing: Exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN) 3) Investigating attributes of endogenous circannual timing in reproductive timing of North American songbirds breeding at different latitudes, 4) Utilizing migratory bird’s adaptive traits in understanding obesity disorders.
