Research Interests: Development, social behavior, neurobiology, neuroethology

Specific Interests: I am interested the development of the brain and behavior, especially in the sensory systems. Currently, I am studying how temperature impacts maternal and paternal care and early development. My  projects include examining how family structure (biparental versus uniparental parenting) affects neonatal huddling behavior and family thermal preferences.
