My research broadly encompasses the taxonomy, biodiversity, and evolution of bees. Currently I am focused on the taxonomy and identification of the bees of Minnesota. My previous reserach largely focused on two main areas: the taxonomy and systematics of the bee tribe Perditini (Andrenidae) and the evolution of host plant use in bees.
