I'm a plant ecologist that studies how plants adapt their physiology and morphology in response to environmental stressors, including drought, deep shade, and low soil fertility.  I use a combination of experiments, fieldwork, and modelling (population and statistical models). 

More recently, I investigated the optimization of photosynthesis in response to climate and soil fertility.  I am interested in the dual roles of light, soil nutrients and moisture availability in regulating physiological processes.
