​
Thesis Research Topic: Investigating the movement ecology of Atlantic cod in the Gulf of Maine using a range of methods (passive and active acoustic monitoring, diets, eDNA) to try to understand the behavior of cod in a changing climate and how these trends relate more broadly to metrics of biodiversity.

PhD Candidate
BS, Rutgers University - New Brunswick
​
Thesis Research Topic: My research investigates seabird movement and trophic ecology in relation to fish communities. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how seabird-fish interactions change over space and time, and how we might use seabirds to help monitor fisheries.

​
Thesis Research Topic: Using historical diet data, I hope to identify the impacts of climate-driven range shifts on the trophic interactions of marine systems throughout the Northwest Atlantic and the consequences of potential mismatches.

​
Thesis Research Topic: I am using acoustic telemetry to investigate the fine-scale movements of Jonah crabs and the potential impacts of claw removal on behavior.
