Broadly, my research interests are focused on using genomic data to understand evolutionary processes and apply this information within conservation frameworks. This spans from deep evolutionary (phylogenetic and phylogeographic) to more recent (population genetic) timescales, to provide a holistic overview of species' evolutionary histories and how this informs and drives current conservation research.

I am not limited by taxonomy, and love to dabble with all kinds of critters (great and small).

I am a keen scientific communicator, both within the university setting (as a teacher) but also outside of it. I actively run a scientific blog called The G-CAT, which aims to which aims to disseminate complex aspects of conservation, ecology and the usage of genetics in these fields to a wider (non-scientific) audience.

My current research focuses on using a combination of genomic, morphological and demographic data to inform conservation management decisions around the translocation and mixing of threatened mammal populations. Particularly, my research aims to determine which factors most strongly influence the outcome of population mixing as a management tool, to better inform and guide future conservation management programs.
