Sustainable management in a changing world 

I am a community ecologist interested in understanding how global change will alter arthropod and plant communities. I am especially interested in uncovering how we can mitigate these changes via sustainable ecosystem management. My research combines natural observation, field and greenhouse manipulation, and large-scale and spatial data analysis to better identify sustainable management practices. Currently, I am at the University of Maryland studying the release of parasitic wasps as biological control agents of the invasive emerald ash borer.
