Biography
My research has focused on closely related, interacting effects that impact insect survival and persistence in light of climate change. My background ranges from studying multiple-stressor frameworks and how these factors influence life-history traits and trade-offs and metabolic plasticity to the effects of thermal stress, temperature variation, and agrochemical exposure on the flight energetics, thermoregulation, and thermal physiology of large flying insects. My research goals are to improve our ability to predict the thermal vulnerability of insect pollinators by systematically measuring ecological, physiological, and molecular responses to environmental changes.
