My research focuses on the evolutionary history of relatively simple animals -- cnidarians, (jellyfishes, corals, etc.), placozoans (aka Trichoplax), and sponges. I generate and use evolutionary trees (phylogenetic hypotheses) to better understand how the amazing biodiversity of these groups (in terms of morphology, life history, and genetics) has come to be.

Just so that it is clear. . . I am a boojum.
