I am interested in population ecology and invasive species, and apply demographic models in order to examine population-level consequences of environmental change. My current research topics include temporal and spatial variation in population dynamics, the drivers and management of plant invasions, and how to improve the reliability of population models.

I am a member of the science committee for the COMPADRE & COMADRE database https://www.compadre-db.org project to create an open-access database of matrix population models for both animals and plants from all over the world to facilitate its usage for scientific and teaching purposes. These databases are a repository of demographic data from (mostly) published literature.

I am interested in plant-pollinator interactions in urban environments and conservation biology. I am currently working on plant invasions and soil microbes, and will begin my PhD project in August 2024.
