My research investigates the evolutionary tension between structure and function in arthropod systems. Current research topics include functional morphology and sexual selection in the female genitalia in the flat-backed millipede Pseudopolydesmus serratus, structural constraints on the development of male genitalia in P. serratus, and the evolutionary history of male genitalia across the millipedes (Diplopoda).
