Research Interests: 

My current research focuses on tree species resilience to several projected climate change scenarios over large spatial and temporal scales. I am using a forest landscape model (LANDIS PRO) coupled with an ecosystem process model (LINKAGES) and downscaled future climate projections to test species responses under various harvest and fire regimes.
