About me
After completing my Ph.D. at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I held postdoctoral positions at Friday Harbor Laboraties, University of Washington and Oregon State University. In 1999, I accepted a faculty position at San Diego State University and am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology and the Director of the Coastal and Marine Institute.
My research interests continue to focus on the population ecology and assemblage structure of coastal fishes, particularly temperate and tropical reef fishes. The majority of my research employs diving-related research using experimental approaches to ask questions of general ecological interest. Currently, my specific interests include habitat-dependent recruitment success and the role of individual performance in population processes.
