I am currently a doctoral student working with Dr. Rowan Martindale at the Jackson School of Geoscience, UT Austin. My current research focuses on exceptional preservation of fossils from the Early Jurassic. Broadly, my research addresses critical questions about Earth-Life interactions in deep-time through the synergistic activities of multi-disciplinary science (Paleontology, Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Geochemistry). A key aspect of my research includes studying the past to address contemporary concerns of conservation of faunal communities and climate change. As a geologist and paleontologist, I am mainly interested in the processes impacting life across geological boundaries over a specific faunal group.

I have previously worked on the systematics and paleoecology of Late Cretaceous sharks from central India and southern England as well as on the diversity of early Paleocene bony fishes from Canada.
