Research
As a second-year PhD student in the Rohr lab, my research examines novel disease interventions and host-parasite interactions of one of the most vulnerable vertebrate taxa on the globe: amphibians. I also utilize my multidisciplinary background to examine unresolved questions about amphibian conservation through a new sociobiological lens, with a special emphasis on the socio-economic impacts of global, amphibian population decline.
