I am broadly interested in the effects of ecological and genetic processes on population dynamics of invasive and rare plants. My research address questions that lie at the interface of population ecology and population genetics. Studying invasive and rare plants allows me to examine basic principles of the interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes that contribute to why some plants are very common and others are very rare. Further, a population dynamic perspective provides insights that inform management and conservation.

I am also interested in the teaching and learning of college level science.
