I have broad interests in biological and fisheries oceanography, behavioral dynamics of oceanic and coastal nekton, and the application of advanced technologies that facilitate their study. My research program focuses on understanding the abiotic and biological factors that mediate the distribution, behavioral patterns, energetics and natural ecology of oceanic and coastal marine animals. To address many of these interests, we integrate acoustics with observations from autonomous platforms to collect high-resolution data. This novel approach allows the investigation of the spatial and temporal scales that mediate organismal patterns in the ocean.
