My research centers on understanding the plant functional response of forests to present and future climate. To answer my questions, I draw on tools from the fields of ecophysiology, ecology, micrometeorology, hydrology, stable isotope biogeochemistry, and remote sensing. I also have a deep interest in developing best practices for formal and informal science and engineering education. I am currently an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences and the Associate Dean for Research and Development in the Schmid College of Science and Technology at Chapman University (Orange, California). I previously served as the first director of the Grand Challenges Initiative, a program that serves undergraduate students in both science and engineering. I am an early career fellow of the Ecological Society of America. Prior to joining Chapman, I was a a post-doctoral research fellow with Dr. Rolf Siegwolf at the Paul Scherrer Institute. I was also a post-doctoral researcher with Professor Yadvinder Malhi in the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford University. I completed my doctorate with Professor Todd Dawson in the Department of Integrative Biology at University of California Berkeley (2012). I hold a B.A. in biology and environmental studies from Bowdoin College (2005). I can be contacted through the email link at the top right of the page. |
