Research
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. My research has primarily focused on relating an organisms physiology to its ecology. Much of my work involves sharks and their sensory biology. Currently I am researching how changing water quality in the Indian River Lagoon is impacting the visual abilities of predatory fish including snook and tarpon.
