Overview

  • Research Expertise:
    Neurobiology, behavior and physiology of marine animals (lobsters, nudibranches, fish and horseshoe crabs), biotelemetry, biological rhythms

    Research Emphasis:
    Overall, my goal is to try and understand the behavior of animals, both at the level of neurons and in terms of how the animals are influenced by their environment.
