About Me
I am a native Philadelphian and Ph.D. candidate at Temple University studying Comparative Biomechanics. My research investigates the compensatory mechanisms of lizards as they navigate sudden drops in terrain as well as across granular media. By using comparative techniques, I seek to understand perturbation strategies across taxa and how this locomotor control happens.

Graduate Research Assistant
Jan 2015 – Present
Conducting independent projects on bipedal stabilization techniques during a sudden drop as well as comparing desert generalists and specialists while running on granular media. This is done using highs-speed light video and high-speed X-Ray video. Data processing uses Cortex Motion Analysis software and MATLAB.
