Expertise

• Community Assembly and Dynamics
• Biodiversity and Invasibility
• Ecological Restoration and Invasive Species Management
• Monitoring and Assessment of Ecosystems

The ultimate goal of my research is the application of ecological knowledge to maintain biodiversity and restore ecosystem functions and services. I am particularly interested in understanding plant community assembly and biological invasion processes in early-developing or recovering ecosystems. I integrate both theoretical and practical approaches, using observational field surveys, controlled experiment, and statistical models with R.
