My most recent work is at the intersection of global change and agriculture, specifically climate change mitigation in crop and animal production systems. My research assesses the potential for sustainable intensification and technological interventions alongside diet change to mitigate methane and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the global food system. I am particularly interested in trade-offs, like yield, land-use, and biodiversity, associated with various mitigation pathways towards limiting global temperatures well-below 2°C.

As part of my work through the Center for Environmental and Animal Protection (CEAP), I am also quantifying the impacts of GHG mitigation pathways on farmed animals. I was previously a Postdoctoral Researcher at Cornell University, a consultant at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, and a researcher at Environmental Defense Fund. I was also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies (Fall 2023).

Research Interests Alternative protein, climate change, food systems, methane, natural climate solutions, soil carbon.
