He is currently a postdoc at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studying mechanisms that link cell junctions to the actin cytoskeleton using C. elegans gastrulation as a model. After his postdoc, he hopes to transition to a faculty position at a primarily undergraduate institution using protists as a model to study mechanisms of single cell morphogenesis and regeneration.
