Marine science Institute
Department of Integrative Biology
I am a researcher, educator, and mentor. I have worked in many fields of biology- from conservation to infectious diseases to neuroscience- but what ties my interests together is using computational methods to understand complex biological systems for real-world impact.
I currently work with Lee Fuiman and Hans Hofmann at UT Austin to understand:
1) cell and molecular processes in early flatfish body and brain development
2) how environmental and nutritional stress and affect this development
