Schmidt Science Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher at NYU. PhD from Princeton.
I’m interested in species coexistence, higher-order interactions, theoretical ecology and the plant microbiome.

Happy to share a new preprint! W/ @zachgold.bsky.social, Haylee Oyler, Jonathan Levine and @nathanjbkraft.bsky.social. We use a spatially explicit experimental design to ask:
do higher-order interactions structure the dynamics of annual plant communities?

Last year, I joined a brilliant group of researchers for a 3-week deep dive into host–microbe systems. Each week explored a different theme, led by inspiring lecturers.
I’m excited to share that videos of their talks — along with presentations by several team members — are now on YouTube:

Theory of host-microbe symbioses: Challenges and opportunities
Growing insight into microbial symbioses highlights the need to model these systems mathematically. We discuss three areas requiring theoretical advan…

URGENT! Contact your senators today to advocate to fund science agencies and programs!
The Senate Appropriations Committee & its subcommittees are writing appropriation bills for the federal FY26 budget now.
Here's how you can help: esa.org/esablog/2025...

New paper w/ Jonathan Levine and @exp-evoeco.bsky.social! We induced plastic responses in annual plants through early-life competition. These responses tended to make subsequent species interactions stronger and coexistence less likely.
