My research interests include the functional morphology and phylogenetics of mammals. I have studied the evolutionary morphology of several groups of extant and extinct mammals, such as primates and treeshrews (Scandentia). Current projects include:

• Primate Origins and Supraordinal Relationships.
  
• Systematics and Conservation of Rungwecebus kipunji (Primates, Cercopithecidae).
  
• Systematics and Biogeography of Treeshrews (Scandentia).
  
• Evolutionary Morphology of Cretaceous Mammals from Uzbekistan.
