Research/Creative Interests

Most of my previous research with undergraduates has centered bioacoustics, especially vocal mimicry and mockingbirds. But I’m interested more broadly in how birdsong intersects with disciplines, e.g., using computer coding to generate synthetic birdsong, birdsong from a musical perspective. I’m also very interested in supporting science outreach.

What types of “data” do you commonly use?

Mostly I sample audio files from wild animals outdoors, then I collect quantitative data from these audio files and put them in a spreadsheet

What types of collaborations are you open to?

I’m open to discussing collaborations of any kind. See my website for examples.
