I am a biologist that integrates physiology and biophysics to answer ecological and evolutionary questions. My research blends experimental biology with mechanistic modeling to determine whether organisms have the physiological, behavioral, or evolutionary potential to tolerate their biophysical environment. I apply my techniques to species range dynamics under climate change, experimental physiology, and molecular mechanisms underlying acclimation.
