I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Sperling Lab at the University of Alberta, Canada. My research interests are focused on the diversity, taxonomy, molecular systematics, comparative genomics and evolution of insects. My expertise is in longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae), especially the subfamily Lamiinae, also known as flat-faced longhorned beetles. My current projects focus on the systematics, and macroecological and genomic evolution of twig-girdler beetles (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini).
