My research interests encompass the broad field of global changes and their impacts on ecosystems, economies, and health. I employ a diverse array of experimental and modeling techniques to address various research inquiries. Recent research efforts have focused on the following specific areas:

• Predicting the impacts of environmental changes on invasive species

• Quantifying biological invasions using eDNA and advanced tools

• Understanding food webs and trophic interactions

• Monitoring levels of aquatic pollution
