Fun fact

I lived in five different countries.

U-M Role

I’m a global change ecologist, working on how global change factors (climate, pollution, landscape degradation) affect natural ecosystems and the services they provide to society. My field work focuses on Forest Ecosystems in the Great Lakes region. Related to that topic I teach Woody Plants of Michigan and Forest Ecosystems (this class at the University of Michigan Biological Station). My research also addresses ‘forecasting’, i.e., predicting the structure and function of ecosystems and natural populations. In that area, mostly analysis and modeling, I work with species and systems all over the world. I also teach two classes related to this topic: Natural Resource Statistic and Analysis and Modeling of Environmental Data.
