Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my site. I am a forest ecology researcher at the University of Michigan. I focus on tropical forest ecology and dynamics, particularly on global patterns of tree mortality, dominance / rarity patterns, community assembly, and beta-diversity determinants. I develop my research within long-term initiatives, in partnership with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute,  the Next Generation Ecosystem Experiment – Tropics (NGEE-Tropics), and a group of intrepids that explore the beautiful and merciless Andean forests in Madidi, where a piece of my soul still remains.
