Research interests

I am a Quantitative Ecologist with a passion for Coral Reef Ecology. I completed my PhD at the University of Leeds, UK, specialising in coral population ecology, using photographic techniques and in-situ observations to evaluate the viability and resilience of coral assemblages across biogeographical gradients. Following graduation, I then worked on the GoJelly initiative, leading the development of tools forecasting spatial and temporal patterns in the aggregation of jellyfish populations, allowing us to predict the location and timing of problematic jellyfish blooms. I joined the Macroscope Lab in 2022, and am currently adapting novel measures of reef geometry and geodiversity to explore how habitat complexity mediates global patterns in biodiversity and biodiversity change.
