Research interests
My research lies at the interface of theoretical physics and mathematical ecology. Physics and mathematics provide powerful tools for understanding the emergent behavior of complex systems based upon mechanistic models for interactions among their constituents. I apply those tools to understand how ecosystem function and diversity emerge from interactions among organisms and their environment.
