About Me
I am a Ph.D. graduate student in biological oceanography at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I am in Jim Leichter's lab.
My research interests are in the structure and function of highly altered ecosystems. In other words, I'm interested in why really dysfunctional places are dysfunctional, and what can be done to make them better.
I'm currently working on the abundance and ecological effects of plastic debris in the North Pacific Gyre. I am also working on facilitation of invasive species by metal pollution in coastal fouling communities.
