I am a vertebrate paleontologist broadly interested in using geological field and lab methods to elucidate evolutionary patterns in the fossil record. My research interests include the anatomy and evolution of early dinosaurs and their close kin, the use of geochemical proxies such as carbon isotope stratigraphy to characterize environmental and evolutionary change in the geologic record, and the impact of mass extinctions on the taxonomic diversity of tetrapod vertebrates.
