Research

My research is focused on the biogeographic evolution of the Desert Tortoise. I am using a genomic approach to better understand what evolutionary processes were responsible for shaping the genetic diversity observed across the range of the species.

Teaching

I am a co-instructor (along with Dr. Hans-Werner Herrmann and Dr. Tom Wilson) for the Desert Ecology and Conservation Biology in Namibia program (RNR 495A/595A) offered through the UA Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange.
