Developing and applying geospatial analytics for scientific discovery, communication of complex ideas, and decision-making––with particular attention on new methods and tools to forecast when and where things happen. Over the course of my 20+ research program, I have produced over 125 peer-reviewed journal articles, secured over $18M in funding from external grants, and mentored 18 Ph.D. students to graduation. I have extensive leadership experience in directing university research centers and currently direct the Center for Geospatial Analytics at North Carolina State University, where I led the establishment of a new doctoral program in Geospatial Analytics in 2018. As president of the U.S. International Association of Landscape Ecology (2016-18) I led a change to expand US-IALE to all of North America (IALE-North America) to broaden diversity and facilitate participation by underrepresented scientists, practitioners, and students.
