Ph.D., George Washington University (Biological Sciences)
Research Interests
My major group of interests are Asian pelagic minnows and other cypriniform fishes from the area as well as ricefishes and gobies from Sulawesi. I study the systematics and taxonomy of these groups using both morphological and molecular analyses.
