I have a few stories to tell...

I've been captivated by science and the natural world for as long as I can remember. Childhood summers were spent collecting and rearing wild animals or unusual plants, devising experiments, and reading as much science fiction and natural history as possible.

As an explorer — a digital naturalist — I've been figuring out ways to digitize nature and amplify our understanding of the complexity of biological diversity. Over my academic career, I've worked with interdisciplinary teams of faculty and students to design, engineer, and deploy new tools for remote-sensing ecosystems using specialized cameras, environmental sensors, and robots.

This website is my portal to those adventures and a springboard for ideas that continue to capture my imagination. I hope you enjoy these stories!
