Current Research 

I am a physiological ecologist interested in understanding how animals interact with their physical environment, and the consequences for how and where they live. My current project funded by an NSERC-Mitacs Alliance looks at how diet and temperature affect insect growth, development and survival, and how to apply this knowledge to improve edible insect farming.
