Research Interests

Broadly, I am interested in questions related to pest and pathogen dispersal. My work is highly interdisciplinary and spans many subjects—in the past, I have worked with geneticists, molecular biologists, and entomologists. I collaborate with researchers in disparate fields as I deeply enjoy working with and learning from others.

About

I am a postdoctoral research scholar in the Department of Entomology at the University of Georgia, where I work with Dr. Bill Snyder. My current work focuses on developing models for agricultural pest forecasting and management.

I received my Ph.D. in the Biomathematics from North Carolina State University, where I was advised by Drs. Alun Lloyd and Fred Gould. I am a Genetics and Genomics Scholar, and a NSF Graduate Research Fellow. I received a B.S. in Mathematics with highest honors from the University of Maine in 2020 (my undergraduate thesis can be found here). After a brief period studying civil engineering, I pursued a degree in mathematics after my REU experience at the Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute at Arizona State University.

This website is a mishmash of some of the things I've been up to, including past and current projects, presentations, etc. I will also occasionally make a blog post every so often about some of the things I find interesting. These topics tend to be more general than those I pursue in my research. The webpages on this site may look a little funky if you have an AdBlocker enabled.
