Introduction: I'm a molecular ecologist and #NewFaculty at University of Florida. I work on genetics and genomics of non-model insects, espeically those with weird reproductive biology and/or relevance as pests. Usually I work with #Lepidoptera and #Hemiptera . Some specific interests include demography and molecular adaptation, sex chromosome evolution, and recently (randomly) Apicomplexan parasites.

I'll be looking to grow my lab and trade new PI tips so stay tuned!
