For his dissertation, he is exploring the palaeodevelopmental evolution of echinoids, with a specific focus on the divergence of cidaroid and euechinoid echinoids. His research focuses on an integrated molecular biological and developmental approach, paired with fossil data. He is also undertaking phylogenetic and palaeoecological studies of Palaeozoic stem-group echinoids. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking and electronic dance music.\r\n\r\n<h2>Contact Details:<\/h2>\r\n\r\nJeffrey R.
