Abstract 		We use a combination of theory and experimentation to understand how aquatic animals function mechanically. We then apply what we learn about biomechanics to questions about the development, evolution, and behavior of animals. The current focus of the lab is on understanding how zebrafish use their lateral line system to sense the flow of water around them
