As a TSA, I provide teaching support for undergraduate field trips, laboratory practical sessions, and statistics workshops in R, primarily for BSc Marine Biology and related programmes. I also co-supervise taught Masters student projects with Dr Thomas Davies.

Masters projects successfully co-supervised:

2023 Jing Ong (MSc Marine Science) - Impact of different ALAN spectra on hermit crab shell choice

2023 Caitlin Stewart (MSc Marine Science) - Investigating the role of personality in Carcinus maenas responses to ALAN

My research investigates the impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on camouflage and visual ecology in the intertidal environment. I use a combination of modelling, lab, and field experiments to examine the effects of this globally prevalent and growing sensory pollutant on coastal predator-prey systems.
