I am a quantitative population ecologist. My work focuses on understanding the patters and drivers of population dynamics, at various spatiotemporal scales. My approach is to apply mathematical models to understand such systems and its applications span from informed management strategies and policies in invasive species to conservation of endangered ones. I am also fascinated by how living organisms interact with each other and cope with different stressors in urban environments.
