About me

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Reading funded by the Leverhulme Trust. My interests are primarily involved in macro-evolutionary biology, particularly involving large-scale evolutionary trends and patterns. I am also interested in looking at the effects of incorporating extinct and extant diversity into studies of evolutionary biology and ecology. 

Current research areas:

• Macroevolutionary patterns and processes - morphological change across the ages

• Linking rapid rates of morphological evolutionary change to underlying ecological drivers / selective pressures.

  • Brain size in mammals

  • Ear canal dimensions and locomotion in primates

• Natural selection: from genotypes to phenotypes!

Feel free to contact me (see links below) if you are interested in collaboration or would like to talk about phylogenetic comparative analyses.
