My main research interest is the evolution of arthropods, especially of malacostracan crustaceans, and the study of the fossil record to answer questions regarding the development of morphological structures.
The focus of my PhD project is paleobiology and systematics of pygocephalomorphan crustaceans, a group of extinct Paleozoic peracaridans that were abundant and (apparently) diverse from the Early Carboniferous of Laurasia to the Early Permian of Gondwana.
