I’m a newly hired assistant professor at the University of Ottawa's Department of Biology. My work explores how different physiological systems originate, function and evolve to shape organism performance. My interests are broad, but current research is mostly focused on the origins of ion and acid-base regulation in animals. For an updated publication list, check out my google scholar profile.

The lab will officially open in September 2026 with research opportunities for undergraduate, master's and PhD students. More details will be posted here as I transition this personal website to my new lab webpage. In the interim, interested students are encouraged to contact me for more info.
