Ecological dynamics of terrestrial plant communities and ecosystems; biosphere-atmosphere interactions; mechanistic models of animal movement. COURSES TAUGHT OEB 55 OEB 157

My research focuses on using mathematical and statistical methods to identify the factors that drive organisms to move and the consequences of these movements. I combine analytic and simulation models to achieve this. In my postdoctoral work, I will...

I am interested in carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems. My research includes 1) assimilating remote sensing data into the Ecosystem Demography (ED) model, and 2) estimating carbon, energy, and water fluxes. Besides forests, I am also interested in...

I have a background of computational earth system science and my research goal aims at understanding how human activity and climate change would affect the terrestrial ecosystem. I specialize in using earth system models, satellite products, in-situ...

During my Ph.D., I plan on utilizing my background in GIS and ecology as I explore the impact of global changes, like climate and land use, on species. Specifically, I am interested in applying quantitative and spatial modeling techniques to better...
