Biography

I joined Rothman group in the Auckland, NZ lab in 2014 as an undergraduate researcher and moved to the UCSB lab in 2016.

Research Area

I’m interested in understanding how environmental stress is translated into epigenetic information which can potentially be transmitted transgenerationally and regulate developmental plasticity. I’m also investigating variation in behavioral responses exists among C. elegans wild isolates.
