About


I am an Assistant Professor of Biology at the U.S. Naval Academy where I research ant behavior and brains, including work on army ants and honeypot ants. My doctoral research at Boston University concerned leafcutter ant (Atta cephalotes) neuroanatomy, morphology, division of labor, and gene expression. I am broadly interested in social insect evolution and behavior and I seek out a variety of tools and methods to answer questions in these areas, including tropical field work, transcriptomics, immunohistochemistry, automated behavioral analysis, and 3D imaging through confocal microscopy and computed tomography.
