Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Jackson is an Associate Professor of Biological and Environmental Sciences at Longwood University who blends teaching in anatomy, physiology, comparative biomechanics, and integrative biology with an active research program on the physiology, movement, and evolution of birds. With an MS and PhD in Organismal Biology and Ecology from the University of Montana and prior postdoctoral work at UNC Chapel Hill, he brings rigorous field and lab experience to both undergraduate education and hands-on biomechanics research. He has run a dedicated lab focused on avian flight (Backyard Biomech), translating natural history observations into quantitative studies of movement and evolution. Known for mentoring students from high school through graduate levels, he combines classroom clarity with experimental creativity and a practical appreciation for field-based questions. Based in Farmville, Virginia, he leverages summers and earlier Rocky Mountain research to keep his teaching and scholarship tightly connected to real-world animal function.
