Developmental and Evolutionary Biology
I study how gene regulatory networks evolve to generate novel morphological traits, focusing on biological patterns, venation systems, and phenotypic plasticity.
By combining functional genetics, spatial biology, and comparative developmental analyses, my work reveals how conserved genetic modules are repurposed during evolution.

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Automated Biology
I am developing AI-guided robots for behavioral assays, fluidics, and computer vision pipelines to automate behavior, spatial gene multiplexing, microscopy, and image quality assessment.
These systems combine real-time feedback, deep learning, and robotics to accelerate biological discovery.

Spatial Biology & Multiplex-FISH Technologies
I develop and apply high-resolution spatial transcriptomic approaches, including Rapid Amplified Multiplex-FISH (RAM-FISH), to map gene expression across intact tissues.
These methods enable direct visualization of regulatory interactions in developing organs and provide a bridge between genomics and morphology.

Neurobiology, Behavior & Addiction Genetics
My research also explores how specific neural genes modulate behavior, including alcohol response and substance preference, using genetic, behavioral, and neurobiological approaches.
These studies link molecular mechanisms to complex behavioral phenotypes.
