Research Interests:

I have a wide variety of research interests, from conservation to medical entomology and public health. However, all of my work revolves around the application of GIS and remote sensing to investigate a problem and look for potential solutions. At QDEC, I am working to build a fine-scale model to identify thermal niches in urban areas in which vector mosquitoes could proliferate. Previous projects include working with NASA to highlight urban heat islands, and working with the Florida Museum of Natural History to map the habitats of the imperiled Loammi Skipper butterfly.
