Interests

My central focus is plant community ecology and forest ecology. I'm interested in intersections with history, e.g., land-use and environmental history, and the use of technology in biology, including simulation modeling and bioinformatics.

Some other broad interests of mine are

• science communication: information and graphic design, user interfaces, open standards;
• simulation models, artificial life, virtual ecology;
• evolutionary theory.

On the side, I have interests in medieval studies and technological history, and the design of games, including as eductional tools.
