Assistant Professor

Biography

My research broadly focuses on the relationships between wildlife (mostly mammals) and their habitats to answer today's conservation and management challenges. I work in highly impacted systems, using collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches to better understand these complex and dynamic relationships across multiple spatial and temporal scales.
