About Me

Half of my research is choosing to work on conservation problems that are going to need a far too complicated model to make sense of anything…and the other half involves coming up with fresh computational methods to solve the mess I created.

My teaching goal for the Fall is to inspire about two-thirds of my students to become constructive and practical critics of environmental policy, and the other third to become better poker players.

I like my dogs (and other dogs), beer, and backpacking. I don’t like running but I do it anyway. The three most recent books I’ve read are about brewing, human rights, and graph theory.

Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions. I’d appreciate any opportunities for feedback or collaboration.
