Biography
Overall, my research experiences, interests, and abilities are diverse across types of aquatic systems and levels of ecological organization. I am interested in predator-prey interactions and food web dynamics, with application to native species conservation and how freshwater ecosystems respond to natural and anthropogenic disturbances.
Research Interests
Aquatic ecology, populations and communities of freshwater fishes, aquatic ecosystems, trophic interactions, climate change
Teaching Interests
Aquatic ecology, fish ecology and diversity, fisheries techniques, ecological modeling
