Resume
I am interested in population dynamics in a food web and ecological applications of complex network theory. I am also interested in the effects of warming on aquatic communities. Currently I am working on spatial synchrony and Taylor’s law and the relationship between them. My recent or ongoing projects include: 1) spatial synchrony of phytoplankton in the California Current, and 2) the determinants of Taylor’s law slopes, as well as some new forms of Taylor’s law.
Field
Theoretical Ecology, including ecological networks, community dynamics, spatial synchrony, and Taylor's Law.
