Program Faculty
The Systems Ecology Intercollegiate Graduate Program is comprised of a collective group of faculty from across campus who advise and guide students accepted to the Systems Ecology graduate program. Faculty come from across campus, ranging from the W.A. Franke College of Forestry, the Division of Biological Sciences, The School of Business, School of Journalism, Departments of Environmental Science, Geography, Economics. University faculty apply to become part of the Systems Ecology faculty, and are accepted based on their topical area of research and teaching relevant to systems ecology, and scholarly performance.

Personal Summary
My research focus is in Computational Landscape Ecology: Developing, optimizing, and applying simulation programs for understanding relationships between biological processes and population patterns across landscapes. I am also part of UM's Center for Population Health Research and pursuing work to improve air pollution exposure models and the modeling of factors that influence respiratory health, specifically for rural populations like Montana.
