I am currently interested in the relationship between
ontogeny and phylogeny in the skeletal development of extant birds. I
am looking at the timing of appearance of diagnostic skeletal features,
as well as at comparative ossification sequences. I hope to shed some
light on whether ontogenetic characters can be phylogenetically informative.
I am also working on projects dealing with brain evolution in dinosaurs
and chondrichthyan embryology.
