Research interests
My research integrates analytical chemistry and ecology to study ecosystem processes. With a background in environmental sciences and fieldwork in remote environments (Arctic and Neotropical forests), I investigate leaf litter decomposition in regenerating forests and the effects of multi-scale disturbances. Additionally, I analyze predator-prey networks between poison frogs and alkaloid-producing arthropods.
