Biography

I am a conservation biologist who uses genetics to understand Australia's unique fauna. I've worked in some of Australia's most remote and ancient landscapes, where novel approaches to conservation are crucial for addressing the many threats facing species in these vast regions. My research mainly focuses on small mammals and explores the effects of fire, invasive species, land use and climate on populations; using genetics as a tool to discover how species respond to environmental change.
