Research
My research focuses on the ecology and evolution of host-parasite interactions. The research in my lab investigates: 1) the evolution of parasitism, 2) phenotypic plasticity in parasites, and 3) the physiological ecology of parasitism. Additional research in my lab examines parasite transmission dynamics and the biotic and abiotic factors that drive these processes.
