I am a biologist that studies how interacting ecological and evolutionary dynamics can transform patterns of biodiversity, from genes to communities. My approach combines data-intensive empirical methods (e.g., experiments, genomics) with mathematical models based on specific biology, primarily in insect systems. Because my empirical work often requires complex data analysis, I also develop software where the need arises.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University, where I work with Megan Greischar.
