My research interests are focused at the intersection of aquatic ecology and environmental toxicology. I'm broadly interested in understanding how organisms, community assemblages (from microbial to macroinvertebrate), and ecosystems respond to anthropogenic stressors including emerging/legacy contaminants and nutrient pollution.

To address these questions, I integrate consumer-mediated nutrient recycling, aquatic-terrestrial linkages, nutrient cycling, ecological stoichiometry and next-generation sequencing in studies of systems spanning lab, microcosms, mesocosms and field experiments.
