Lab Members
I am currently an associate professor at the University of Windsor, in the Department of Biology. Before coming to Windsor, I was working in collaboration with Dr. Arthur N. Popper at the University of Maryland. Before Maryland, I was at the University of Arizona for a postdoc on olfaction in Xenopus laevis with Dr. Gail Burd and before that was at the University of Texas, Marine Science Institute for my Ph.D. in Marine Science with Dr. Lee A. Fuiman.
