I am a Mathematical Ecologist who works on the application of advanced mathematical, statistical and computational techniques to complex questions in ecology. My quantitative training in statistics and computational science allows me to support two kinds of research. One area of my work concentrates on fundamental questions in mathematical ecology e.g. population dynamics, scaling, global climate change, and biodiversity. A second area of my work is aimed at bridging the gap between traditional statistical sampling theory and the design of ecological monitoring programs. My work blends theory and data, field experiments and statistical modeling, as well as the development and analysis of computer simulation models of biological communities.

"We can not defer action until complete accuracy in the estimates can be reached, because before that time many of our resources will be practically gone. It is not necessary that this inventory should be exact in every minute detail. It is essential that it should correctly describe the general situation ..."                                            President Theodore Roosevelt, February 1909
