Current Project 

My current work questions how different species are intertwined across different interaction types (e.g. cooperation, competition and predation) and how these multiple relationships contribute to

the health and stability of ecosystems. I am using the latest methods in machine learning to construct

a reef-based ecological network which will render a conservation tool to study the structure and resilience of reef ecosystems.

 

I am currently based at the University of Cambridge as Christ's College Charles Darwin

and Galapagos Islands Fund Junior Research Fellow.
