Research Interests
My main interests are invasion biology and zooplankton ecology. In particular, I am interested in the exploration of biological invasion vectors responsible for transportation of species at global or finer scales. Such investigations are useful for prediction and prevention of invasions of nonindigenous species. For more information click on the links below:

Expertise
Invasion biology and zooplankton ecology, particularly the examination of transportation vectors of non-native species to lakes (e.g., the aquarium trade, shipping) and the exploration of other patterns of invasion (e.g., hotspots, such as dams), that can be used to predict and prevent invasions of non-indigenous species.
