For scientific peers, collaborators, reviewers and research partners.
Our work begins where sound becomes force: antennae, membranes and sensory structures moving on microscopic scales. From there, we follow the signal into cells, circuits and behaviour.
A grayscale conference scene now sits behind this scrolling window: neuroscientists discussing a poster while other attendees pass through the background. As you scroll, the foreground window stays with you while the larger image shifts more slowly behind it, revealing different parts of the same moment.

We combine quantitative mechanics, electrophysiology, imaging, genetics and behaviour. The visual rhythm here is deliberately slower than the foreground text: the scientific object stays in view while the explanation arrives and overlaps it.

The sections below remain concise reference points; the scroll story above provides the visual and narrative entry.
Replace these concise placeholders with final lab text, grant-specific language or project abstracts.
We investigate how mechanosensory structures convert minute mechanical displacements into cellular and neural responses.
Genetically tractable antennae and Johnston’s organ systems provide access to mechanics, molecules and behaviour.
We use diverse organisms and methods to ask how physical signals are detected, filtered and transformed.
Dense, peer-facing summaries can link directly to preprints, methods, datasets or contact people.
Active antennal mechanics, neuronal transduction and genetic perturbation.
Wingbeat tones, attraction behaviour and sensory ecology.
Mechanisms and phenotypes relevant to age-related sensory decline.
