My primary research interest resides in community ecology and global change ecology. How interacting species respond to a key global change factor or co-occurring global change factors via different tactics (e.g. plasticity, evolution, and evolution of plasticity), and how this affects ecosystem dynamics and functioning, are the key questions that drive most of my research activities. I have worked on both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, applying long-term common garden experiments, field observations, statistical analyses, and modeling in my research.
