CV
Research
My research focuses on a synthetic understanding of why species are distributed where they are. I combine ecological niche modeling techniques with GIS and remote sensing tools to study the factors that shape species’ geographic distributions.
Teaching
Developing course materials and identifying teaching strategies that best work for students are my on-going quests.
Group members
I see mentoring and collaborating as mutual learning experiences. Check out the profiles of the people who keep me informed and busy!
