I am interested in the food web relationships of freshwater communities, the role of diel rhythms, and comparative limnology of temperate, tropical and arctic regions. Currently, I have research projects in three areas of freshwater ecology.

1) Cyanobacteria and biotoxins in lakes

2) Trophic interactions and diel behaviors of aquatic invertebrates

3) Lake management and the factors regulating water quality in New Hampshire lakes
