Research Interests
 I am interested in the genetic basis of reproductive isolation, specifically prezygotic isolating barriers that cause sexual isolation between species. I would like to identify the genetic basis of sexual isolation and to understand the evolutionary forces that shape differences between species.
My current work focuses on the genetic basis of sexual isolation in two different groups of Drosophila. One project focuses on the genetic and phenotypic basis of sexual isolation between D. sechellia and D. mauritiana. My other project examines the genetic and phenotypic basis of sexual isolation between D. virilis, D. novamexicana and D. americana.
