Research summary

This researcher studies the genetics and neurodevelopment underlying dog behavior, including how breed, early-life experiences, and genetic variation shape temperament, fear, aggression, and working-dog abilities like olfactory detection. Related work touches on canine cancer genetics (osteosarcoma) and some unrelated biomedical engineering and insect genomics projects. The work combines behavioral testing, genome scanning, and statistical/machine-learning methods to link biology to behavior in dogs.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with a gap in 2024 followed by a notable spike in 2025, suggesting an active but uneven publishing pattern rather than steady year-over-year growth.
