He worked at the Psychoacoustics Laboratory at the University of Florida and as a Research Scientist at the National Center for Physical Acoustics at the University of Mississippi. Prior to coming to UNCA he was a post-doctoral associate in Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University. His research focuses on sensory processes associated with sexual selection and predation risk. He is currently funded to use cricket communication as a model system for understanding mutual synchronization of biological oscillators.
