      working on regime shifts in ecology   and evolution. Such shifts mark the most
      dramatic events in complex systems. What causes these transitions to
      occur? Can we detect or forecast these changes? How do we robustly
      manage ecosystems that experience such tipping points?  Understanding
      and forecasting these events challenges the capacity of both our
      statistical methods and the data available.  My research aims to extend
      and quantify the limits of understanding through nonparametric Bayesian
      inference, high performance computing and big data sets. </span>
