Molecular ecology, population genetics, and fishes
Hello!
I’m a postdoc with Nina Overgaard Therkildsen and Pete McIntyre in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University.
I’m heading up a project to use metabarcoding to determine what exactly goes into fish food and which of the oceans’ wild fish stocks are impacted.
I finished my PhD in Ocean Sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz in March 2019.
Research
Feel free to contact me with questions or if you need access to publication PDFs.
Multi-locus metabarcoding of marine species mixtures found in aquaculture feeds
Population structure of Alaskan Northern Fulmars and bycatch assignment
Larval dispersal of kelp rockfish across a marine reserve network in central California
