Research Summary

I am an insect systematist interested in beetle diversity and evolution. My research broadly covers alpha | beta taxonomy, DNA barcoding, molecular phylogenetics, and population genetics. At Hulcr’s Lab., I focus on evaluating potential damage of exotic longhorn beetles in the US.

Below are my specific research interests.

Systematics of Beetles (Cerambycidae and Nitidulidae)

Taxonomy, immature morphology, larva-host association, DNA barcode immature stage identification

Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Beetles

Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Beetles
Phylogenomics, evolution of traits (feeding habit, colors, pattern, etc.), coevolution; correlated evolution; biogeography

Invasive Entomology

Population genetics of invasive species, report of invasive species
