My research spans both curiosity-driven (basic) and use-inspired (applied) investigations into fish and aquatic ecosystems. I combine natural experiments, laboratory and mesocosm studies, and modeling to explore the patterns and processes that shape aquatic ecosystem structure and function. Alongside this work, I am committed to training the next generation of aquatic environmentalists and enhancing public awareness of the fragility of fisheries and aquatic ecosystems.

I strongly believe in incorporating students in research and outreach events, here is a group of summer interns prepping for an event showcasing our programs study of the effects of climate change and browning on fisheries and freshwater ecosystems.
