ABOUT ME

I am a broadly trained ecologist who integrates theory and techniques from movement ecology and ecotoxicology to investigate how human-induced stressors effect the emergence and function of wildlife behaviour and sociality. My research explores diverse study systems (e.g. fish, lizards, aquatic invertebrates), and combines both laboratory and field experimental methods to connect findings across biological scales, from individuals, to animal groups, to whole communities.

I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Fellow in the Aquatic Ecology research group at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Umeå, Sweden. My funded research program, AquaDrugs, is harnessing cutting-edge technological tools (e.g. acoustic telemetery, computer automated tracking) to identify whether and how emerging chemical pollutants in the environment induce behavioural changes in wildlife that can lead to higher-order ecological effects.
