Current Research and Scholarly Interests

My research at Stanford focuses on the evolution of body size of marine animals during the initials intervals of the Paleozoic era.

My overall research interests broadly focus on stratigraphic paleobiology and understanding the various environmental and biotic factors driving macroevolutionary patterns of marine invertebrates in the fossil record. I am also interested in the variation and reconciliation of geographic scale expressions of macroevolutionary patterns and global perturbations, such as mass extinctions.
