Vikram B. Baliga is an Assistant Professor of Teaching at the University of British Columbia, specializing in Locomotion, Visual Guidance, Phylogenetic Comparative Methods, Statistics, and Data Science. His research explores the biomechanics of avian flight, focusing on how wing morphing influences flight stability and control. He also investigates evolutionary patterns in cleaning behavior among wrasses using phylogenetic comparative methods. Baliga's work integrates statistical and data science approaches to analyze morphological, ecological, and behavioral traits across species. His publications highlight the interplay between morphology, ecology, and evolution in shaping animal behavior and physiology.
