Welcome to my den on the web!

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Columbia University, New York, studying Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology. My Ph.D. research will focus on investigating the relationships between endangered large herbivore distributions in the context of anthropogenic and ecological pressures in fragmented ecosystems. My thesis will largely address conservation of mega-herbivores in an overcrowded world and resolving issues of spatial scale, habitat mosaics, fragmented corridors and production landscapes for continued survival of endangered species.
