I am an Early-Career Researcher based at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science and Adjunct Fellow at Macquarie University with broad interests in marine ecology, animal biotelemetry, oceanography, biodiversity and conservation issues associated with human impacts (e.g. climate change, anthropogenic disturbance, fisheries).

I have a particular research focus on monitoring populations and movements of sharks, batoid rays, and other marine megafauna, with expertise in large database management, analysis of spatial, presence-absence and time-series datasets, and data visualization using R and GIS.

Some of my current projects include:

- Continental-scale tracking of movements of Australian marine species to examine  population structure and climate change impacts as part of Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, www.imos.org);

- Investigations of the movement and diving ecology of manta rays in east Australia and globally;

- Sighting trends and foraging ecology of Australian cownose rays off New South Wales;

- Environmental DNA as tool to assess the pelagic diversity of marine vertebrates inhabiting or transiting through the Lord Howe Island Marine Park.
