I am a professor specializing in aquatic biology, biogeochemistry, invasion biology, and biostatistics and data analysis. My research focuses on statistical methods for aquatic ecology but am open to any data and science. I am particularily adept at working wtih high frequency data from field monitors.
Research Interests
- Aquatic Ecology - lakes and streams
- Invasion Biology
- Environmental Monitoring
- Statistical methods for ecological data
- Data visualization
Teaching Philosophy
My goal is to make statistics accessible and relevant by doing code and data collection in the classroom. The hands-on approach to learning, using real-world data and practical examples to illustrate statistical concepts is essential and actively doing the work. I use of modern tools like R and the tidyverse to prepare students for careers in biological research.
