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.
Publication output has been steady to slightly growing over the past decade, averaging about 2-3 papers per year in recent years with occasional gaps.
