About Me

My research interests are focused on coevolutionary interactions, particularly host-parasite interactions. I’m interested in the effect of dispersal (or migration) on coevolutionary interactions. I am also interested in how the local patterns of interaction between host and parasite (e.g. local adaptation) can scale up and lead to patterns of host specificity. My thesis research is divided into two main areas: empirical work on Potamopyrgus antipodarum and theory work on the evolution of migration.
