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

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