I'm interested in a variety of topics in ecology, in particular ecosystem responses and feedbacks to climate change. I use a variety of data sources (forest survey, remote sensing, climate data, field data) and tools (statistics and ecosystem modeling) to study the interactions between climate and terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycles from local to global scales. I am also a keen theoretical and evolutionary ecologist who wants understand the dynamical behaviors of plant communities with math and evolutionary theories. An enthusiastic naturalist, I like to hike in the Rocky Mountains during weekends and to watch birds, trees, and wildflowers.
