About me
I completed a BSc in Environmental Biology at University of London Wye College, followed by a PhD at the University of Surrey investigating environmental influences on the population ecology of amphibians in tropical forests.
Prior to joining UWE I worked in ecological consultancy on protected species, managed a biological station in the tropics, taught for the environmental charity Operation New World, and contracted for NGOs, universities, and statutory authorities.
At UWE I teach across ecology, biogeography, conservation and environmental themes.
Area of expertise
My research directions address problems in ecology, populations, community dynamics, behaviour and conservation. I specialise in ecological statistics using model-based multivariate analysis, species distribution modelling, and modern population analysis, in both frequentist and Bayesian frameworks.
My style of research is highly collaborative, and I contribute to joint outputs with colleagues, students and independent researchers. My current investigations include;
- Biogeography of Indian amphibians
- Abundance and habitat use of tropical snakes
- Animal behaviour both in-situ and ex-situ
- Population ecology of sea turtles
- Climate effects on amphibian survival
