This researcher studies the taxonomy, classification, and ecology of aquatic insects, especially mayflies (Ephemeroptera), along with related groups such as stoneflies and caddisflies found in freshwater habitats. The work involves describing new species and larval forms, revising classification schemes, and cataloging insect diversity in specific regions like Indiana and the Great Lakes basin. This type of research supports biodiversity monitoring and understanding of freshwater ecosystem health.
Publication output was concentrated heavily in 2017 with a large cluster of papers, followed by a sharp decline to almost no publications in subsequent years through 2025.
