Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan

I am broadly interested in how functional complexity emerges across different scales of biological organization, from molecules and cells to organisms and populations. My thesis and present work focus on understanding the development of phenotypically plastic traits at the molecular scale in order to illuminate general mechanisms that promote or constrain the generation of biodiversity. I am currently working to establish the monarch butterfly as a model to study the molecular genetic ‘design’ of migration and understand how this design influences evolution of the migration strategy.
