Research Interests
Sexual differentiation and function of the genitalia and nervous system; evolution of copulatory systems in vertebrates; learning and neural plasticity.
My research examines two aspects of reproductive anatomy and function: the modulation of sex-specific circuitry in the mammalian brain, and the biomechanics of reproductive tissues in amniotes (including mammals, turtles, and crocodilians).
