I am interested in projects where mathematical methods in concert with field and experimental studies can lead to better understanding of multiple scale biological phenomena. My research has focused on ecology and environmental science, and has included research in mathematical biology, as well as a variety of experimental and field studies in different areas of ecology such as ecotoxicology, soil, microbial and avian ecology. My current primary research project focuses on self-organization patterns of forested ecosystems. I also conduct research on ecotoxicology, in particular tungsten ecotoxiology, in order to provide a scientific basis for pollution regulation.
