Research Interests
I am interested in the functional morphology and behavior of teleost fishes. Our lab is currently engaged in several topics on fish bioacoustics. We are examining how morphological diversity of the ear and associated anatomical features are related to hearing acuity in different fishes. We are also conducting research on the impact of human-made noise in marine environments on hearing and acoustic communication in fishes.
