Personal Statement
Personal Statement
I am an integrative biologist that uses tools from neurophysiology, computational ethology, genomics, and single-cell transcriptomics in a comparative framework to understand behavioral evolution. Similar behavioral decisions guide an insect’s task specialization in a group and its ecological specialization on a resource. The objective of my research program is thus to understand how sensory systems evolved to facilitate task and ecological specialization.
