Research Interests:

There are important connections in the study of finch behavior to what I have already studied about music, namely concerning cultural evolution, the information value of sounds, and mechanisms of auditory learning.  I will time warp song models to see how this warping affects songbird learning.  I also look forward to studying why certain culture, or non genetic information passed from generation to generation, may be inherently salient as demonstrated in finches.  

Biography:

My background is in music and physics.  I was trained in music at Rutgers University.  I studied Physics at Lake Forest College before transferring to Rutgers.  The past few years I have become increasingly interested again in science and specifically neuroscience.  I am also a piano technician and have trained in that field through apprenticeship.
