my science
|
I research the relationships between infectious pathogens and parasites and their wildlife hosts by applying mathematics, statistics, and ecological theory. Specifically, I focus on how aspects of host sociality, predator-prey relationships, and wildlife management affect disease dynamics.

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher in Dr. Wendy Turner's lab at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I primarily study potential management strategies for chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer, and the effects of parasite infections in gray wolves.

My goal is to conduct research that addresses conservation and management needs & aids in protecting species and landscapes. Learn more here.
