Research

I focus on integrative science, aiming to understand the complex interactions between organisms and their environment. To do this I use a combination of eco-physiology, behaviour and mechanistic modeling techniques.

​

Specifically, I use a combination of field observations, laboratory experiments and computational models to understand how organisms respond to changes in their environment, and how these responses affect ecosystem functioning. By integrating these different techniques, I aim to paint a comprehensive picture of the challenges species are face in a rapidly changing world and to inform conservation strategies that ensure the long-term survival of species.

Field work fitness

As scientists, one of the most important characteristics is our ability to perform demanding cognitive work at a high level, however we often neglect the science-based tools to enhance our cognition, memory and focus. I encourage my lab to take care of their physical and mental health for optimal scientific performance.
