I study how organisms use visual and proto-visual cues to guide their behavior. My primary systems include Harris’s Hawks, waterlilies, and other organisms that rely on light for movement and decision-making. Broadly, I am interested in quantifying embodiment in organisms through mathematical frameworks such as information and control theory.
I also have ongoing interests in 3D reconstruction methods, particularly as tools for biodiversity monitoring and perception research. More generally, I develop computer vision approaches to support biology and expand how researchers study organisms in their environments.
