About
I have been at the University of Delaware since 2015 where I teach Ornithology and Conservation Biology. My research program is focused on avian ecology and conservation and I am especially interested in developing and implementing long-term monitoring programs using birds as indicators of ecological condition. I work with avian species in tidal marshes, deciduous forests, grasslands, and deserts throughout North America. I am also interested in Agro-ecosystems and sustainable agriculture and how creating and maintaining wildlife habitat in and around agricultural systems can be used to benefit crop production and reduce the use of chemicals.
