I undertook my PhD research in evolutionary developmental biology at the University of Sheffield, under the supervision of Dr. Gareth Fraser and Dr. Nicola Nadeau. My project primarily involved examining the development of dermal denticles in sharks. I joined the LANE as a Postdoc in February 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Michel Milinkovitch and Dr. Athanasia Tzika and will focus on addressing biological and physical processes involved in amniote skin appendage development.
