RESEARCH:

My general interests are in shellfish biology, aquaculture, and marine ecology. My research focuses on the physiological ecology of bivalves to address questions related to restoration and aquaculture.

TEACHING:

I currently teach courses in ecology and environmental science.  In these courses I strive for my students to understand how ecosystems work so that they have the knowledge to appreciate and protect ecological systems.  I encourage undergraduate and graduate students to participate in my research as there are opportunities to do work in the field and in my laboratory at Baruch College.
