Bio

I am an Assistant Professor of Anatomy at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine. My main research interest is the evolution of vertebrate locomotion. I completed a post-doc at Howard University on early tetrapod limb anatomy and locomotion and a PhD in the Structure & Motion Laboratory of the Royal Veterinary College on evolutionary changes in the axial skeleton over water/land transitions.
