Research Focus: His work centers on evolutionary ecology and biogeography, with current projects examining invasive species dynamics (including ant ecology and plant range expansion), the role of extrafloral nectaries in plant invasions, sexual dimorphism in orthopterans, duckweed dispersal mechanisms, and cryptogamic community composition (lichens, bryophytes, ferns). This integrative approach bridges behavioral ecology, systematics, and conservation biology.
Laboratory & Teaching: He maintains an active research laboratory while teaching Field Biology, Evolutionary Ecology, Invasive Species, Plant Ecology, and Principles of Biology 2 Lab courses, emphasizing hands-on ecological investigation.
