My research has been on an invasive woody plant species, specifically Norway maple (Acer platanoides), and its influence on community structure in the mid-Atlantic region. My research includes an examination of the role of allelopathy in its success. Besides invasive species, I am interested in the interactions of ecology, evolution and the spread of human disease.
