I am a 6th-year PhD candidate in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Yale University. During my dissertation I have been trained in phylogenetic comparative methods and have succesfully published manuscripts displaying this skillset (see CV and list of publications). In the past few years I have also been trained in how to obtain 3D morphological data from CT and diceCT scans and have used this skill set to collect the data form my dissertation. I will use the scans collected and implement my knowledge in phylogenetic comparative methods to look at changes to the evolutionary dynamics of morphological evolution.
