Biography
Biography
I am a post-doctoral research fellow based in the Marine Biology and Ecology Research Centre (MBERC). I am currently working on the INSITE2 "DREAMS" project: Decommissioning – Relative Effects of Alternative Management Strategies, and on the INSITE2 "Overall Synthesis" project.
Qualifications
PhD Marine Sciences. January 2015-February 2018. Implications of ocean acidification on the UK's commercial shellfish fisheries: a comparison of native and non-native species. Supervisors: Antony Knights, Jason Hall-Spencer, Steve Fletcher, Roy Moates.
Roles on external bodies
Associate Editor: Aquatic Conservation - Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems
Associate Editor: Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review

Research interests
My background is in marine biology and ecology, having researched topics such as the effects of climate change, ocean acidification, and non-native species. More recently I have been interested in how we can use and synthesise already available evidence to inform marine biodiversity conservation and management, having collaborated with the Conservation Evidence initiative in Cambridge.
