Plant and Forest ecologist
I’m a plant physiological ecologist who studies responses to environmental resource variation. I focus on the physiological traits and mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to key natural and managed environmental gradients, namely water availability and belowground resources (in particular, soil pyrogenic carbon). Ultimately, my research then explores how plant trait-based responses to environmental variation scale-up to explain and predict forest-level responses to global change. Across these themes, my research makes use of greenhouse and in-field experimental approaches, coupled with observational field studies, across a range of plant species and forest types.
I'm currently pursuing a PhD in the Thomas lab, University of Toronto. I'm also a course instructor in the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto.
