Scholarly Interests

My research interests are strongly paleontological and paleobiological in nature. I am currently primarily involved with the newly world-famous Tanis site. The Tanis site of North Dakota captures the very first one-to-two hours of events immediately after the dinosaur-killing asteroid hit the Earth ~ 66 Mya making it one of the most significant fossil sites ever found. At Tanis, rapid burial of the site and its inhabitants has preserved a large number of high-quality fossil finds that capture exquisite details.

I am also especially interested in reconstructing dinosaur anatomy and physiology through a comparative lens with their modern relatives (i.e., crocodilians and birds). I particularly enjoy working with soft-tissues and reconstructing them on fossil groups. Knowledge of such anatomical and physiological trends can help us to understand how these animals lived and may also be informative for trying to understand certain behaviors.
