My paleontological research focuses on the evolution, extinction, and paleobiogeography of Late Cretaceous cephalopods, especially ammonoids. I use phylogenetic, morphometric, and geospatial techniques to better understand the mechanisms underlying ammonoids' high evolutionary volatility.

My geoscience education research focuses on how to make geoscience more engaging, accessible, and inclusive for students at all levels by developing learner-centered activities that promote deep understanding. I co-convened the 2009 Cutting Edge Workshop "Teaching Paleontology in the 21st Century" and have written about active learning strategies in undergraduate paleontology courses.
