Research interests:

I am fascinated by gastropods, especially the diversity of Stylommatophora (pulmonate land snails and slugs). Specifically, I am interested in understanding land snails' adaptations for life on land and the evolution of gastropod head appendages. Toward these goals, I am working on the establishing modern tools for the developmental study of the helicid snail ​Cornu aspersum (Müller, 1774
) as a model system for understanding land snail evolution.
