Sean is a postdoctoral fellow in the Terry Lab. He completed his PhD at UC Santa Barbara in 2021 and a Marie Curie Fellowship in Jena, Germany in 2024. He is currently working to combine taxon-specific stable isotope and AMS 14C chronologies with existing paleoenvironmental proxies to characterize the divergent responses of specialist and generalist small mammals in the Great Basin to eradication in the Holocene. Prior to coming to OSU, his research has focused on Madagascar, and using chemical analyses of bones, plants, and lake sediments to help infer potential causes and consequences of intentional animal introductions and subsequent extinctions of native fauna during the past ~2,000 years. In his free time, he enjoys racquetball, mountain biking, and collecting rocks and minerals.
