Research Interests: I apply mathematical and computational methods to an array of problems in biology, typically collaborating with researchers with considerable observational experience in the areas being studies.
Current Projects: My recent projects have included analysis of global vegetative systems, particularly the distribution and factors affecting savannas; consideration of human behavior and perceptions of risk as these interact with global climate models; multi-scale evaluation of education and research projects that have an interdisciplinary focus; models of virus co-infection as it impacts possible controls for maize lethal necrosis; and impacts of alternative methods for undergraduate quantitative education for undergraduates.
System of Study:
