Keywords: Gelatinous Plankton, Marine Snow

My research is focused on open-ocean and deep-sea systems.

Completed and ongoing projects include:

  • Discovery of a bioluminescent deep-sea chaetognath
  • Demonstrating that the ctenophore Pleurobrachia is not bioluminescent
  • Measuring natural rates of luminescence in the sea
  • Investigating luminescence of marine snow
  • Bioluminescence spectra of gelatinous zooplankton

For more details, check out a list of my scientific papers.

I have currently begun working at MBARI on the photoproteins of deep-sea medusae, siphonophores, and ctenophores.
