My research program is interested in understanding the anatomy, taxonomy, evolution, and ecology of late Palaeozoic early tetrapods (vertebrates with 4 limbs). I utilize both traditional palaeontological and field-based methods in combination with modern technologies, such as computed tomography scanning (CT), to study the anatomy of fossil reptiles and mammal ancestors.
