I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Quebec at Montreal, where I am working on ecosystem management of private forests in southern Quebec.
I recently completed my PhD. at the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University (September 2012). The principal focus of my dissertation research was on community assembly processes during succession in tropical secondary forests (papers to follow!).

Recent Activities:
March 10th, 2013: My colleague, Sarah Batterman ( a Phd student at Princeton), just submitted our revised draft to Nature on the role of N-
fixing species in meeting the N demand of tropical forests during the early stages of carbon recovery
Feb. 22nd, 2013: I gave a presentation at University of Quebec at Outaouais on the application of structural equation models for ecological
problems; I used SlideRocket for making the presentation and learned how to do SEMs in R with lavaan
Feb. 1st - 14th, 2013: I spent two weeks in Victoriaville, QC working with the Agence Forestiere des Bois Francs on our exciting project about
ecosystem management of private forests
Dec. 13th, 2012: My third dissertation chapter on water-use efficiency was just published online in Trees - Structure and Function
Sept. 27th, 2012: A good week -- I successfully defended my PhD. and had an article accepted for publication
early September, 2012: Putting the finishing touches on my thesis for my defense at the end of the month. The clock is ticking!
August, 2012: Oral presentation at ESA 2012 in Portland
