Our lab studies animal movement from a diversity of perspectives. We are interested in understanding how animals produce and control movement. We use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to understand how the morphology of organisms determines the way they interact with their environment. For example, we are currently looking at how wing shape affects the flight abilities of birds and how the differences in cranial shape affect masticatory performance in mammals.

With its large campus, Sewanee is a great place to investigate what animals can do in nature. Please take a look around to learn more about what we do.
