About Me

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm currently immersed in the world of academia as a Ph.D. student in the Mathematics Department at Simon Fraser University. Under the guidance of esteemed advisors, Dr. John Stockie and Dr. Ailene MacPherson, I'm passionately delving into research at the intersection of epidemiology, evolutionary ecology, and theoretical biology, with a focus on applying evolutionary ecology principles to better understand bark beetle outbreaks and seed masting dynamics.
