Welcome to my lab research page which is currently under major revision (6-2023). Since 1995 I have worked on fence lizards, salamanders, and geckos. Starting in about 2007, the bulk of my research became focused on various aspects of gecko adhesion and biomimicry. Use the links you find on this page to explore specific areas of research of interest to you. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested in learning more.
