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 research interests are broad, but current efforts are mostly focused on the origins of ion and acid-base regulation in animals.

The lab will officially open in September 2026 with research opportunities at undergraduate, master's and PhD levels. These opportunies will be advertised soon as I transition this personal webpage to the new lab website. In the interm, interested students are encouraged to contact me at the address below.
