Eel Postdoctoral Scholar, University of California, Berkeley
PhD, Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, 2017
I am interested in algal and food web ecology. I want to investigate how interactions and the stoichiometry of algae, bacteria, and invertebrates affect food web structure and nutrient cycling in rivers. Currently I am researching the ecology of cyanobacteria and trying to understand when, where, and why cyanobacteria proliferate in rivers, and how cyanobacteria production moves through the foodweb. I am also involved with the volunteer monitoring group Eel River Recovery Project and am assisting them in the creation of algae monitoring and education programs. I received my PhD in 2017 with Prof. Mary Power in Integrative Biology, and am currently a postdoc with Jill Banfield in the Earth & Planetary Science department at UC Berkeley.
