Personal Statement

Understanding the concepts and methods of science adds a very valuable learning skill to a student's liberal arts education; we should become aware of world environmental issues loss of biodiversity and endangered/threatened species.

Teaching Specializations/Interests

Concepts & Methods of Biology, Evolution, Molecular Phylogenetics/bioinformatics, Ecology; Biogeography; Marine Ecology; Marine Biology; Fishery Biology.

Research Interests

Evolution, ecology, systematics of fishes; fisheries/environmental science; endangered fish; tilefish morphological and molecular(DNA)phylogeny.

Grants/Sponsored Research

2008: President Faculty Research Grant, Adelphi Univ. Molecular Phylogeny of the Tilefishes.
