BIO
I am a marine ecologist interested in understanding the ecological, physiological, and behavioural responses of marine organisms to environmental change, particularly in the context of accelerating anthropogenic impacts. My research focuses on the ecophysiology of marine invertebrates, the reproductive biology and management of marine nuisance species, disturbance ecology, predator–prey interactions, and coral reef ecology and conservation. By combining field observations, experimental approaches, and applied ecological research, I aim to advance our understanding of how marine ecosystems respond to environmental change while informing their conservation and sustainable management.
