Research Interests: My research focuses on ecology, especially the chemical mediation of animal-plant interactions. For example, I collaborate on a project that investigates the relative roles of plant genetics and chemistry on community and ecosystem processes, using hybrid cottonwood trees and their associated fauna. Other projects study plant chemical effects on herbivore physiology, possible effects of climate change on plant-animal interactions, and the variability of plant chemistry in nature. As part of this work, student projects can include significant amounts of natural products and analytical chemistry.
