I am an ecologist broadly interested in population and community dynamics including tree demography, maintenance of species richness, and the ecological effects of climate change.  I emphasize the use of quantitative approaches to investigate the mechanisms structuring ecological systems, including statistical models, analytical models, and computer simulation models.

Area(s) of expertise

Biocomplexity, Computational models of ecosystems, Population and community dynamics, Effects of disturbances and climate change on biodiversity
