Prior to coming to Princeton, Kristina most recently worked at the Office of Emergency Management for the City of New York. She holds a Master of Public Administration from New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, where she focused on international development and nonprofit management.  She speaks Hungarian…

Hannes De Deurwaerder
Postdoctoral Research Associate
High Meadows Environmental Institute
Office
103 Eno Hall

Hannes is interested in the study of below ground water competition and physiological differences in hydraulic traits and fluxes of tropical lianas and trees. His fieldwork focuses on extensive stable water isotope experiments (both enriched and natural abundance) and sapflow measurements performed in the tropical forest of French Guyana. The…

Matteo Detto
Research Scholar
High Meadows Environmental Institute
Office
109 Eno Hall

My research focuses on describing and explaining the spatial and temporal complexity displayed in natural and anthropogenic systems as they pertain to biosphere-atmosphere exchanges.

 

My interests span from forest-atmosphere interactions, in relation to the exchange of energy, water, CO2 and other greenhouse gasses, to…

Her background is in computational modeling: she hopes to leverage computational techniques like ray tracing to make more accurate and efficient models of forest ecology.
Jacob Levine
PhD student
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Office
101 Eno Hall

Jacob is primarily interested in using novel techniques in statistical and mathematical modeling to explore plant community function, primarily in forest systems. More specifically, he hopes to gain mechanistic understanding of how inter- and intra-species interactions facilitate co-existence and community function, and how those interactions…

Aiyu Zheng
PhD Student
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Office
101 Eno Hall

I am broadly interested in exploring the interface of plants’ biophysical processes and community ecology. My previous work was done in mountain treelines and arctic tundra on how plants modulate microclimates under global climate change and how spatial patterns of vegetation shift consequently. My work will be centered on using models to…
