My research has focused on predator-prey systems, including the origin of cycles in these systems and how dispersal affects their dynamics. I also have interests in population ecology, genetics, and quantitative ecology.

Education

Courses taught

ZOOL 557 (Biostatistics), ZOOL 558 (Advanced Biostatistics), ZOOL 577 (Population Ecology)

Areas of interest

Predator-Prey Systems, Dispersal, Quantitative Ecology
