Key academic interests

Ecology

Wild populations are facing more anthropogenic challenges than ever. My current research explores the exposure and consequences of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Alpine swift, (Tachymarptis melba).

Applied research

Ensuring research can be applied to real-world challenges is vital. In this, I have ensured the publication of my research throughout my career, with my undergraduate, masters and research assistant position all resulting in peer-reviewed publications.

Data Science

During my PhD, I realised that my favourite aspect of research is data; from data management and data wrangling, to statisical analysis and data visualisation. I am committed to continuous learning and development in this sector.

Application of technology in research

The application of developing technologies to biological sciences opens up research questions we could not previously answer. I have worked with a behavioural recording system, RFID tracking and GLS loggers to answer a range of questions.
