I regularly collaborate with students on research projects related to plant and lichen community ecology, landscape ecology, and plant and lichen life history characteristics. I greatly enjoy mentoring, and usually work with one or two students each term.
If you’re interested in working with me on a mentored research project please contact me! I’m especially interested in working with motivated, creative students who are considering careers related to ecology, botany, conservation, etc.
Please see my CV for a list of projects previous students have worked on.
