I am a James S. McDonnell Postdoctoral Fellow in Complex Systems at the University of California, Merced, with Justin Yeakel.

I'm in the process of starting my lab in the Biology Department at Duke University as an Assistant Professor. I am therefore recruiting graduate students interested in understanding ecological dynamics at the interface between theory and data. If you're interested in joining my future lab, check out some of my papers, then shoot me an email!

I see myself as a quantitative ecologist broadly interested in how ecological processes and patterns are affected by individual variation and spatial structure, and how these in turn affect the evolution of species embedded in large, complex networks of interacting species in a changing world. To investigate such phenomena I use theoretical approaches grounded in mathematics and computational methods, as well as empirical data from laboratory experiments or public databases across systems and taxa, as described here.
