I am a biomechanist researching the functional roles of sensory hairs in bat flight. I am broadly interested in how animals move and how they respond to perturbations. I teach Human Anatomy and have mentored >20 undergraduate researchers.

National Geographic photo caption: "At Brown University, doctoral student Brooke Quinn (blue glove) and her adviser, Sharon Swartz, work with a Seba’s short-tailed bat inside a wind tunnel. They are testing how tiny sensory hairs on bats’ wings affect their flight responses to turbulence."
