I will be starting a research group at the University of Toronto in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in July 2025. Please get in touch about available opportunities!

I am a community and ecosystem ecologist studying mechanisms driving biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across scales. I am broadly interested in interactions that occur between different ecosystems (e.g., lakes and forests) through the movement of living organisms and spatial flows of non-living materials (e.g., dead leaves, inorganic nutrients). My research examines how such cross-ecosystem interactions influence species diversity, the structure of food-webs, and ecosystem functions (e.g., nutrient recycling) across time and space. To do this, I use a combination of large-scale data analyses and mathematical models that examine fundamental questions in ecology.
