I am a Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Southern Maine with a background in geometric morphometrics, biomechanical modeling of swimming and flying animals, and modeling performance trade-offs in functional systems. More recently, I’ve worked on developing tools for best statistical practices in bench biology.
