I am a phylogenetic
biologist interested in studying genetic variation
both within species (population genetics and phylogeography) and among
species (phylogenetics) to address questions in ecology, evolution, behavior
and conservation biology. My research
program is primarily concerned in trying to find answers to exiting problems
in biology in an evolutionary framework, i.e., through the use of molecular
phylogenies. Broad areas of interest
include: character evolution, molecular systematics, phylogeography, and
biogeography. In addition I am also
interested in population and conservation genetics. The lab employs a range of systems such as
langurs, geckos, butterflies, tarantulas and centipedes to address these
questions. EDUCATION 1989-1993: Bachelor of Science in
