I am a postdoctoral research associate at Arizona State University studying collective behavior in social insects, advised by Ted Pavlic, Jennifer Fewell, and Stephen Pratt. My research interests include social insect behavior, tropical ecology, and thermal physiology.

Feel free to have a look around my website for more information about my research.
