Ecologist; Biostatistician; R Expert

Profile Summary

My research interests include soil carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry, grassland restoration, and plant-soil-microbe interactions. I am available for biostatistics consulting. I am well versed in linear mixed models, generalized additive models, structural equation modeling, PERMANOVA, constrained and unconstrained ordinations, and model-based community analyses. I can also help with experimental design and paper editing.
