I am always interested in hearing from motivated students who are excited about forest ecology, grassland ecology, global change ecology (particularly in plant invasions), and plant community assembly. If you have your own ideas for projects or if you are considering applying for external fellowships or other funding opportunities, I encourage you to reach out to discuss potential directions. You can find detailed information on available funding opportunities at SIU here.

Students should contact me before submitting a formal application to SIU.
