Hello! I’m a research scientist currently working on the restoration of logged tropical forests at the University of Oxford.
I hold a PhD in Quantitative Modelling in Ecology and Evolution from the University of Reading, which focused on pre-dispersal Janzen-Connell effects and was supervised by Sofia Gripenberg. Prior to my PhD, I received a BSc in Zoology from the University of Exeter and a MRes in Biodiversity, Evolution and Conservation from University College London.
Broadly, my interests lie in quantitative and community ecology – utilising maths and statistics to understand how species coexist. I’m particularly excited by:
- Tropical forests
- Interactions between plants & their natural enemies
- Species coexistence and conspecific density-dependence
- Complex ecological data and Bayesian modelling
- Open & reproducible science
