RESEARCH

Areas of Interest

I have broad interests in trophic interactions, food web dynamics, climate change ecology, and agroecology. Click the images below to explore more!

Trophic Interactions

Food Web Dynamics

Thermal and Climate Change Ecology

Agroecology

Ecology is integrative, interactive, and interdisciplinary. Always open to new ideas!

I have years of experience in statistical analysis and programming in R; I highly value these quantitative skills—they are the “weapons” that allow me to tackle the research questions. I’m also into data visualization—creating awesome ggplots for effective science communication definitely brings me a great sense of joy and achievement!
