Curriculum Vitae
Full CV available upon request
Ph.D., Virginia Tech
Postdoctoral, Virginia Tech and Oak Ridge National Laboratory
My research program centers on the influence of agricultural and urban systems on stream ecosystem function. Results from our research demonstrates a commitment to outreach with the broader community of policy makers, NGOs, and agencies in order to improve the management of our freshwater ecosystems. The Indiana Watershed Initiative (IWI) focuses on paired field and in-stream conservation to improve water quality.
