Current Studies and Future Goals

When asked what he found most meaningful about his field of study, Anthony responded with the following: "I love being able to work between many different fields on the same project. Leveraging these different advantages makes for a more intuitive and unique solution".

When asked why he chose to apply for a TIE Travel Grant, Anthony responded with the following: "I appreciate how TIE encourages interdisciplinary research to tackle large scale important problems. TIE also supports international collaborations and conferences that are so important to developing student's skills and their projects. Their passion for solving climate related issues is something that I am proud to be a part of and will continue throughout my research and mentoring career".

Anthony hopes to continue to develop his skills in a post-doc position researching soft robotics and invertebrate neuroethology once he completes his studies at Tufts.
