I am an Associate Professor in Terrestrial Biogeochemistry at Oregon State University (beginning Jan. '25) and an affiliate scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) in Berkeley, California. I’m mainly interested in the interaction between the nitrogen, carbon, and water cycles in mountainous watersheds and forests.

Prior to LBNL, I was a Postdoc Fellow at Princeton University working with Professor Bess Ward. My background is mainly in aquatic microbiology and biogeochemistry, however, these days I spend most of my time thinking about the complexity of terrestrial biogeochemistry.

I received my Ph.D. in Environmental Microbiology under the supervision of Professor Tim Ford (UMass Amherst) and Professor Tamara Galloway (Exeter University), and spent most of that time up in beautiful Montana.
