Summary

I am a PhD candidate in the Integrated Bioscience program at the University of Akron, under the supervision of dr. Matthew Shawkey. My research focuses on the development and evolution of iridescent colors - how nanostructures get organized during feather development to produce such colors, and how this template can be explored macroevolutionary to produce some of the most diverse colors found in nature.
