Current Research
My research program focuses on the morphology, taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of various groups of freshwater fishes. Most of my systematic research to date has focused on South and South East Asian groups, specifically the hyper-diverse minnows and loaches (order Cypriniformes). I am also particularly interested in the phenomenon of miniaturization (the evolution of tiny adult body sizes) in fishes and its effects on the skeletal system.
