Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Stieha is an ecologist and research scientist with 11 years of experience developing and testing mathematical and statistical models that link individual-level interactions to population and landscape dynamics. Currently a Research Associate at Case Western Reserve University after a postdoc at Cornell, he blends field experiments with theory to investigate how plant defenses and abiotic landscape factors shape herbivore populations and pest outbreaks. His work emphasizes bottom-up biological control, using coupled models to predict feedbacks between plants and herbivores and inform agricultural management. Trained with a PhD in Ecology from the University of Kentucky, he brings a rare combination of hands-on experimental design and quantitative modeling, translating ecological complexity into actionable insights for pest mitigation.
