Welcome to my personal site! I am an evolutionary biologist currently based at the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. In my research, I integrate genomic, phenotypic, ecological, behavioral, and distributional data to shed light on the mechanisms underpinning phenotypic and ecological diversity of Neotropical birds.
