My research interests are in applied mathematics and include ordinary and partial differential equations, mathematical and agent-based modeling and optimal control theory. I have a special interest in mathematical ecology with applications to population and community dynamics, epidemiology and natural resource management. I am currently investigating optimal growth strategies in Sarracenia purpurea, the northern pitcher plant.
