Research Interests

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is a key measure of the health of our ecosystems. Focusing on spaces of higher biodiversity can be a critical strategy for maximizing conservation effectiveness.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM)

Using audio recording devices paired with AI to monitor and understand our ecosystems is a field with incredible potential towards conservation, and these technologies will only continue to improve.

Evolutionary Biology

Understanding species relationships and taxonomy gives us a fuller understanding of biodiversity and how to preserve it. Plus, it's just cool stuff!

Ecotourism

Ecotourism can be a way of conserving biodiversity while bringing livelihood to marginalized communities by providing an alternative source of revenue to resource extractive activities.

Science Communication

Communicating science effectively is one of the best ways to ensure its impact, and finding creative solutions to this is an ever-evolving discipline.
