Current Research
I am a conservation biologist using quantitative modeling, field survey data, and decision analysis to support conservation decision-making and natural resources management plans. I am especially interested in studying the connection among different habitats or ecosystems (e.g., terrestrial-freshwater-marine) and finding cost-effective ways to manage and conserve threatened species. My post-doctoral research in the Carleton University focuses on (1) setting priorities for threatened species conservation in Canada and (2) finding optimal management actions for national historic waterways, the Rideau Canal and the Trent-Severn Waterway.
