I am a conservation biologist studying how global environmental change influences biodiversity, ecosystems, and human-environment relationships in two biodiversity-rich regions: the southeastern United States and the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot.

My research integrates field ecology, ecological experiments, species distribution modeling, and geospatial analysis to investigate how climate change, land-use change, and natural resource management shape species and ecosystems. My research interests include climate-driven shifts in species distributions and phenology, ecological restoration, biodiversity conservation, and the relationships among biodiversity, traditional ecological knowledge, and pastoral livelihoods in the Himalayas.

A central component of my research program is mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in independent and collaborative research. I emphasize student-driven scientific inquiry, with the goal of producing original research that contributes to the broader scientific literature through conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications.
