Research: I am investigating the relationship between student attitudes and performance, with the goal of designing learning tools and activities that engage students and help them to learn. I am also analyzing the relationship between course learning outcomes and assessment (assignments and exams), with the goal of providing students with a clear representation of how they will be evaluated.

Research: I study dinoflagellates, the bioluminescent plankton that cause the sea to glow at night. Symbiosis and lateral gene transfer are among the biological phenomena that interest me.

Research: I am currently in the Ph.D. program in Zoology examining molecular and cellular adaptations of fishes to low levels of oxygen (hypoxia) in the environment. More specifically, I am interested in determining if variation in the pathway involving regulation of a major transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), that in turn regulates many hypoxia-inducible genes, underlies the differences among hypoxia tolerant and sensitive species of sculpins.
