Jesse manages the zooarchaeology laboratory and provides support in training students in faunal identification and interpretation, alongside Prof. Monroe.

He is responsible for supporting faculty and students who conduct zooarchaeological research and is available to discuss the relevant facilities within the department. He is also available to provide support in the statistical analysis of zooarchaeological remains, and archaeological data more generally.

Jesse earned his Ph.D. from Stony Brook University in 2019, before completing postdoctoral training in zooarchaeology at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Human History (now Geoanthropology) from 2020-2022 and at Purdue University from 2022-2024. His research focuses on synthesizing traditional faunal analysis, isotopic analysis, and advanced statistical techniques to examine human-animal interactions, particularly in the context of animal domestication in Southwest Asia.
