I am a second year PhD student with two main areas of research interest. Overall, I would like to answer questions regarding the mechanisms that cause the evolution of sex differences. Sex differences in size and the possiblity of its interaction with disease resistance is of particular interest to me. I would also like to investigate how mate choice at the organismal and cellular levels affects the population genetics of disease resistance.
