Research interests

I am biologist interested in understanding the ecology and evolution of biodiversity across the tree of life. I focus on understanding how the taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity of communities in different habitats are created and maintained by ecological and evolutionary processes, and the functional implications of diversity. I use methods drawn from community ecology, phylogenetic biology, and bioinformatics to address these questions.
