Areas of Research

Movement Ecology, Species Distribution Modeling

Bio

My research seeks to model shifting distributions of highly migratory species by leveraging diverse data types with environmental data. I am particularly interested in incorporating species interactions and underlying organismal mechanisms into existing models to advance climate readiness management.
