Welcome

I’m an evolutionary biologist integrating physiology and genomics to understand the drivers and limits of environmental adaptation and acclimation.

I recently completed my postdoctoral training at the University of California, Santa Cruz in the Kelley Lab where I studied the evolution of antifreeze proteins in polar fishes through the lens of structural genomic variation. I received my PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in the Hofmann Lab, where I studied the evolution and regulation of plastic responses to global change. I’m joining Skidmore College in August 2026 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology.

Recent news

June 4th, 2026 - A new paper led by Tina Cai is out in Molecular Ecology! We performed reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing on gill and foot tissue of California mussels transplanted between intertidal microhabitats. Tissues showed significantly different epigenetic responses to in situ conditions. Available here.
