I am an evolutionary biologist specializing in systematics, phylogenomics, and molecular ecology, focusing on lesser-studied organisms. My research explores the evolutionary relationships and ecological dynamics within groups such as whip spiders (Amblypygi), short-tailed whip scorpions (Schizomida), and spiders (Araneae). I earned my PhD in Biodiversity from the Center of Macroecology, Evolution and Climate at the University of Copenhagen. Presently, I am an Assistant Professor and Curator of Recent Invertebrates at the University of Oklahoma.
