I am currently an MPhil student in Biological Science in the Department of Zoology. My research focuses on the evolutionary history and phylogenetics of shrews (Soricidae), a ubiquitous but obscure mammal group that has been previously overlooked and whose evolution is not very well understood. Supervised by Dr Robert Asher, I am undertaking a one-year project aiming to reconstruct a more comprehensive soricid phylogeny incorporating both anatomical and molecular data.
