My goal as a conservation scientist is to take interdisciplinary, solution-based approaches to inform human-wildlife coexistence in complex, shared landscapes. My dissertation research focuses on the conservation of large predators, particularly the Tibetan brown bears, in the Sanjiangyuan region of China. I seek to utilize and integrate methods from wildlife ecology, social sciences, and geospatial modeling to guide community-based conservation practices. My research contributes to the broader discussion on sustainable and equitable human-nature relationships through the lens of the unique socio-ecological system on the Tibetan Plateau.
