Exploring ecological interactions to uncover their causes and consequences.

I explore the ecological and evolutionary processes that underlie the dynamics of ecological interactions. My goal is to provide insights to understand these phenomena, which influence the structure and dynamics of populations and shape species evolution over time.

about me

about me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My research integrates disciplines including ecology, evolutionary history, natural history, network science, mathematical modeling, and empirical data. This interdisciplinary approach allows me to provide valuable insights and contribute to the understanding of complex ecological phenomena.
