I am currently a PhD student at the University of Connecticut in the Elphick lab. My current research focuses on plant and insect ecology, with an emphasis on plant-insect interactions across the urban landscape. Our future study systems will be focused on urban street trees in the temperate zone and will include insect herbivores, particularly Lepidopterans,  Coleopterans and herbivore pest insects. My previous research has included temperate and tropical ecosystems. For more information on my research, be sure to check out my research page!
