I am a doctoral candidate in the Graduate Program in Entomology (where I received my masters degree). My masters research was in forensic entomology, specifically morphology of necrophagous flies, intrapuparial period of Hemilucilia semidiaphana and, as an undergraduate, my honors thesis was the description of immatures of Paralucilia pseudolyrcea. I have now switched to evolutionary ecology and focus on the mating system of Sarconesia chlorogaster. I am looking into mating systems and sexual selection, along with morphological descriptions of adults and immatures. This research is also applied, because of its important forensic applications. In addition to science, I love music and literature, such as those of Douglas Adams: “You cannot see what I see because you see what you see. You cannot know what I know because you know what you know. What I see and what I know cannot be added to what you see and what you know because they are not of the same kind. Neither can it replace what you see and what you know, because that would be to replace you yourself.” We’ll see!
