I am a physiological ecologist and a herpetologist. My research interests are primarily focused on nutritional ecology and digestive physiology of amphibians and reptiles; impacts of invasive species on amphibian larvae and niche occupancy of introduced reptiles; and the development of mobile technologies for bioassessment of aquatic ecosystems. All of my research activities include undergraduates, and our investigations can take place in the field (from local to international locations) and in the laboratory.
