Dr. Butler completed his PhD in Zoology at North Carolina State University in 2012, having written a dissertation on grasshopper habitat use and anti-predator strategies. He began working at Shaw University that same fall and has maintained a large undergraduate research program for most of that time. More recently, with the proliferation of large data sets, he has shifted the balance of his work to favor data analysis of these pre-collected sets.
