Biography summary
My current research focuses on using networks to understand dispersal and connectivity of marine species within a wide range of projects: coral reef ecology, artificial structures and marine biosecurity and provide management recommendations.
Research interests
My research focuses on dispersal and connectivity of marine species (invertebrates, seagrasses, corals) using biophysical models. I use network analysis to analyse these complex systems and produce management and conservation outcomes.
My current projects are related but not limited to to: ship traffic, eDNA, larval dispersal, and artificial structures.
- larval dispersal and connectivity
- network analysis
