| Education | Ph.D. 2006 Princeton University, Princeton, NJ (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) M.A. 2003 Princeton University, Princeton, NJ (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) B.S. 2001 Stanford University, Stanford, CA (Biological Sciences) |
| Areas of Interest | My research interests are at the interface between theoretical evolutionary ecology and conservation biology: I use mathematical models and simulations to investigate how anthropogenic impacts cause rapid evolution and community change.
While researching a wide range of biological topics from life history evolution to ecosystem resilience, I develop theory relevant to conservation management decisions, particularly in marine systems. |
