Math Ecology

My classic academic training is in mathematical and statistical modeling of ecological systems.

My work primarily focuses on natural resource management. I use difference/differential equation modeling, agent-based modeling, matrix projection models, and more. Here are some highlights of my work:

• Managing the sylvatic plague in black-tailed prairie dogs

• De-extinction strategies for the passenger pigeon

• Vaccination strategies for white-nose syndrome in little brown bats

• Modeling sublethal stressors on bee colonies

• Hunting strategies to suppress the winter tick epizootic in moose

• Modeling pollen competition and interference in plants

I enjoy working with interdisciplinary teams, and with colleagues across the world. If you’re interested in working together, please reach out to me!

I’ve worked with several student researchers, from REUs, programs internal to UWL, federal scholar programs, etc. If you are interested in undergraduate research, please reach out to me!
