The introduced fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans causes White-nose syndrome in North American bats, putting some populations at risk for extinction or extirpation. The severity of…

Lab Mission

Our lab uses experiments, field data, and quantitative models to characterize and understand the dynamic and stochastic processes that determine fluctuations, spatial distribution, and extinction of biological populations. Our overarching aim is to produce socially responsible and actionable scientific knowledge in the service of human and environmental welfare.

Research areas

Areas of interest include the theory of extinction, the problem of coexistence, emergence and spread of infectious diseases, management of invasive species, and critical phenomena in ecology and epidemiology. Applications of our work include epidemic preparedness and forecasting (in both wildlife and human populations), conservation of rare and endangered species, and management of invasive species.
