Summary
My research focuses on the morphology, evolution, and paleobiogeography of Cretaceous non-avian dinosaurs and birds, particularly those from the Gondwanan (Southern Hemisphere) continents. I am especially interested in deciphering the role that Gondwanan fragmentation played in driving the evolution of terrestrial vertebrate faunas on its component landmasses. To that end, I have conducted fieldwork at Cretaceous localities in South America (Argentina), Africa (Egypt), Australia, and Antarctica.
