Biography

I am a PhD student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder and a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow (DOE CSGF). I work at the intersection of quantitative ecology, biostatistics, and eco-evolutionary biology.

My current work develops statistical and simulation-based methods for phenology, with emphasis on uncertainty-aware inference, hierarchical models, and scalable computation for ecological datasets through integration of Bayesian generative modeling, machine learning, and high-performance computing.

Outside of research, I enjoy rock climbing, running, cycling, fly-fishing, reading, snowboarding, film photography, and most of all, spending time with my wife.
