Research                

 Statement 

My research interests are interdisciplinary, but

centered on Ecology; more accurately trophic

ecology, with an emphasis on invasive species

impacts on systems.

Utilizing stable isotopic ratios of 15N/14N and 13C/12C, 

which indicate

the trophic level at which and where within habitats species feed, respectively,

I construct statistical models (e.g.: Stable Isotope Analysis in R, mixing models for example); that with a knowledge of Genetics, 

and using

bioinformatics software for sequence data analysis (e.g.: Geneious), I define

the trophic structure within habitats; while simultaneously confirming species identities therein.
