Research Interests:

- Currently, I am conducting avian diversity studies for an energy company that is planning to develop a wind generator plant near West Galveston Bay. In past years, students have enrolled in independent study courses that involved a variety of research interests.

These included:
1. Gender determination in birds using DNA fingerprinting technology
2. Analysis of organics extracted from the Galveston Ship Channel using GC
3. An analysis of bird diversity was conducted on the 6 study sites surveyed in the Field Ornithology Course.
