I am a conservation geneticist and molecular ecologist, with interests in both fundamental evolutionary questions and applied problems in conservation. I seek to understand how organisms adapt to suit their environments--and how changes to those environments can impact populations. 

In addition to questions of evolution and conservation, I am also passionate about research methodology itself. I am fascinated by conservation innovations and new developments in biotechnology, and I enjoy the process of experimentation and study to find improved ways to accomplish a research goal. 

Some topics of particular interest to me are listed below:
