Assistant Professor
I am currently an Assistant Professor in Forestry at Louisiana Tech University. My main responsibilities are teaching quantitative forestry classes, research, and some outreach/extension services. My main research interests are using statistics to help answer real-world forest management questions.
Below is a list of my publications/posters/presentations that I have completed over my career.
