I am a K99-funded postdoctoral fellow in Gabrielle Kardon's lab at the University of Utah. I received my PhD from the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard
University, advised by James Hanken, and MPhil degree from
the Zoology Department at the University of Cambridge.
My PhD research focused on using experimental
embryology to determine the embryonic origin of cranial
musculature and skull elements in the axolotl, with important implications for the evolution of the head-trunk boundary in vertebrates. In my postdoctoral research, I am focused on the patterning and morphogenesis of the mammalian diaphragm, a muscle essential for respiration.
