Senior Research Fellow
Areas of interest
My research is highly interdisciplinary, mixing ecology, economics and social sciences to explore ways of integrating biodiversity into human systems and decision making by quantifying and recognising the many values associated with ecosystems. Within this sphere, in am particularly interested in:
- How do biodiversity and ecosystem services influence food systems?
- How do we integrate biodiversity monitoring into decision making?
- How will changes to landscapes and land management affect the interplay between biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Postgraduate supervision
I welcome prospective students interested in interdisciplinary research around my main research themes to discuss project ideas and funding sources. I am especially interested in working with students from developing countries.
