​I am a research associate working in the labs of Andrew Gillis and Jason Head in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge, and a Research Fellow at Darwin College.

My interests lie in the evolution and development of the jawed vertebrate body form. In particular, I study the evolutionary patterns of vertebral morphology across the fish evolutionary tree, and the development of axial skeletal tissues to understand how this segmented structure evolved across jawed vertebrates, and how different groups have invented their own unique vertebral morphologies.
