Current Research
I earned my undergraduate degree at Columbia University, and since have worked in a variety of roles including running a startup, competing as semi-professional athlete, and working as a financial analyst at a hedge fund. My research broadly seeks to understand how historical body plans are shaped across major evolutionary transitions.
