Miranda Sinnott-Armstrong studies how flower and fruit colors evolve across plants, including the biological materials (like lipid-based structures) that produce colors such as metallic blue in fruit, and how these traits relate to seed dispersal by animals and environmental conditions. Their work combines evolutionary biology, plant-animal interactions, and materials science, and also includes methods work using large language models to speed up digitizing natural history museum records.
