Biography
I am currently a Research Scientist with the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. My chief responsibilities are to conduct research that contributes to the circumscription, conservation and management of Western Australian flora. I utilise a range of molecular genetic techniques to examine the evolutionary processes that maintain genetic diversity and shape patterns of genetic structure in native taxa. My work contributes to understanding long term evolutionary influences on the persistence and phylogeographic structure of native taxa as well as the effects of current anthropogenic disturbances such as fragmentation and the requirements for succesful long term restoration. I am the current Secretary for the Australian Network for Plant Conservation.
