I am a graduate student with Simon Levin and Stephen Pacala at Princeton University in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I am interested in understanding the mechanisms that determine community composititon and the dynamics within. My work is motivated by a desire to understand ecosystems in a way that will aid our predictive ability of global patterns. Currently, I am using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches to understand the dominance of plant strategies across resource gradients.
