Research Interests
I am broadly interested in the ecology, life history strategies, biogeography, diet, and phylogeny of fishes. More specifically, I study trophic food webs, community ecology and adaptive radiation of freshwater fish. For my dissertation, I will focus on catfishes and neotropical stingrays.
