Profile
My primary research focuses on the evolution and biogeography of invertebrate animalsand in the use of museum specimens for genomic research. In the lab we use genomic and morphological data from living and extinct animals to better understand invertebrate evolution and changes in their distributions through time. A large body of our work focuses on arthropods and mollusks, but we also investigate many other groups of invertebrates, including velvet worms, nemerteans, priapulans, and many smaller phyla. Current NSF-funded projects include CSBR: Natural History: Preserving the genomes of the type specimens in the Museum of Comparative Zoology and Collaborative Research: PurSUiT: Understanding the Neotropical Velvet Worms (Onychophora, Peripatidae, Neopatida), a Cretaceous Radiation of Terrestrial Panarthropods

The Salata institute
The Salata Institute supports interdisciplinary research that leads to real-world action, including high-risk/high-reward projects by researchers already working in the climate area and new endeavors that make it easier for Harvard scholars, who have not worked on climate problems, to do so.
