My research focuses on the evolutionary history of relatively simple animals
-- cnidarians,
(jellyfishes, corals, etc.),
placozoans
(aka Trichoplax), and sponges.
I generate and use evolutionary trees (phylogenetic hypotheses) to better understand
how the amazing biodiversity of these groups (in terms of morphology,
life history, and genetics) has come to be.
