I’m a computational and landscape ecologist fascinated by how species interact with their environments. Using GIS, species records, and individual-based models (IBMs), I explore why organisms behave the way they do and move where they move. I challenge oversimplified labels like “woodland species,” focusing instead on the nuanced habitats and niches they truly inhabit.
A tech-savvy ecologist with expertise in GIS, remote sensing, and modelling, I work across more than half a dozen programming languages. My past projects have spanned peatland restoration, upland ecotones, habitat connectivity, hydrology, site suitability, and planning for forests and urban spaces. My focus has included birds, beetles, and bees, driven by a passion for combining field observations with cutting-edge tech.
In my current post I do not teach. But I have taught GIS and geography 101 in the past and supervised undergraduate and masters projects. I would love to have the opportunity to teach again, possibly adding in some teaching on programming and modelling.
