Academic background
I received my Ph.D degree in 1999 from the Program in Applied Mathematics at the University of Arizona. I was awarded a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in 2000 and used it to work with Alan Hastings at the University of California in Davis for two years before taking an assistant professorship in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in 2002. I joined the faculty here at the University of Michigan in 2005 where I hold joint appointments in the Department of Mathematics and the Center for the Study of Complex Systems.
