Ecological and evolutionary processes, from genes to communities

I am a biologist that studies how interacting ecological and evolutionary processes can transform patterns of biodiversity. My approach combines data-intensive empirical methods (e.g., experiments, genomics) with mathematical and statistical models, 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 Associate in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University, where I work with Dr. Megan Greischar.
