Projects

I study carabid beetles in the NEON biorepository, developing AI-powered imaging pipelines to extract functional traits at scale. By linking ecology, computer vision, and biodiversity informatics, my work advances trait-based approaches to understanding ecosystems in a rapidly changing world.

I use fine-scale remote sensing to segment individual tree crowns and link them to forest size–abundance patterns. My work explores how local structure scales up to landscape dynamics, advancing theory in forest and landscape ecology.

Network analysis of the Experimental Forest Research Network to identify current research capacities and gaps in coverage.

Recommendations for global conservation and monitoring from an interdisciplinary team

Detailed investigation of GEDI accuracy and applications as related to understory fire in the amazon rainforest

Ongoing works focused on conservation wild land loss and conservation priority in the western US

Species Distribution modeling of Whitebark Pine based on new genetic techniques that allow for the first time identification of seedlings
