Research
My broad scientific interests center on disease ecology and landscape genetics, with special focus on areas where humans and wildlife interact. In my doctoral research here at Temple, I am studying Lyme disease in the urban to rural gradient around Philadelphia using the tools of both community ecology and genetics.
