Research interests

My research interests are based around the ecology of infectious disease. I am interested by the ways parasites choose, manipulate, and co evolve with hosts at both of the community and individual level.

Miscellaneous

Apart from the lab and field work, I spend most of my free time playing and writing music whether it be on my laptop tinkering with recording programs, jamming with friends, or just playing guitar for my own amusement. Besides music, I enjoy playing sports as well as supporting Philadelphia teams (especially the Flyers).  Other interests include hiking, camping, traveling, and generally exploring the world.
