Biology with Specialization in Ecology and Evolution, U. of Chicago Graduated with General Honors and Special Honors in Biology Research Experience Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Barney Luttbeg s lab, Oklahoma State U. -research on predator-prey interactions and behavior using individual-based modeling and larval dragonfly-tadpole study system Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Robert Denver s lab, U. of Michigan -research on 1) identification of predator chemical cue used by tadpoles in risk assessment and 2) neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying risk assessment and anti-predator behavior in tadpoles Dissertation research at E. S. George Reserve, U. of Michigan -research on predation risk assessment and anti-predator behavior using a larval dragonfly-tadpole study system 2000 Towson U.
