My research program combines field, laboratory and museum research to understand the evolutionary history among a variety of mammals. During my dissertation research I organized two field trips to Borneo to conduct elevational gradient surveys of small mammals on Mount Kinabalu and Mount Tambuyukon.
During my postdoctoral fellowship I worked on genomics of lemurs, focusing on sequencing the whole genome of the Greater Bamboo Lemur (Prolemur simus) and a genomic phylogeny of the sifakas (Genus Propithecus).
I have just relocated back to the Smithsonian Institution at the National Museum of Natural History, Division of Mammals, and am accepting limited students to my research program.
I was recently awarded a 4 year NSF grant to return to Borneo to evaluate fine-scale phylogeography across the island to evaluate for areas of endemism. Stay tuned for updates and new pictures!
