About Me
My research is focused on the physiological mechanisms that integrate regulatory cues for the
control of sleep/wake cycles. I use the cavefish Astyanax mexicanus and its extant surface
ancestor to compare the neural control of sleep between animals that live in complete darkness
and those with circadian light cues. This allows me to better isolate the effect of energy
homeostasis on the sleep/wake cycle.
