I am a Schmidt Science Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher in the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology at New York University in the Bergelson Lab. I earned my PhD in Quantitative and Computational Biology program at Princeton University, where I was advised by Jonathan Levine and Simon Levin.
My research combines theory and experiment to understand how diverse ecological communities stably coexist. I am especially interested in interactions that uniquely emerge in diverse communities, often called higher-order interactions. I conduct experiments with annual plants in the field and microbial strains in the lab. In parallel, I build and analyze theoretical models for how species interactions impact diverse coexistence.
