PhD Student, Department of Entomology
Research Interests: My research is mainly focused on urban environments and how they and the organisms they contain can be leveraged for basic ecological discovery. I am particularly interested in the spatial, structural, and socio-economic complexity found in urban environments and how those factors lead to changes in the biodiversity and functionality of soil food webs, especially among microarthropods and microorganisms. Through my research I hope to shed light on the controls of biodiversity in human-altered environments, and how we may harness that biodiversity to create more sustainable urban ecosystems.
