About me

- Liverpool, United Kingdom
- I am interested in how we can use DNA sequences to understand biodiversity – how do we recognise species, and how are species related at taxonomic, ecological and geographic levels? My passion for biodiversity research has led me from the world’s largest natural history collection - Natural History Museum, London, where I completed my MSc, to the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario - global centre for the international Barcode of Life, as a PhD student, and to the hyper-diverse tropics of Southeast Asia. The tropics will be the first regions to experience historically unprecedented climates and this will happen within the next decade. Consequently my recent research has focussed on understanding the effects of urbanisation and climate change on tropical and subtropical biodiversity - encompassing both species richness and ecological integrity across a diversity of taxonomic groups.

RESEARCH UPDATE - INVITED SEMINARS
During my stay in Vietnam I have been invited to present seminars at the Vietnam National Museum of Nature and the Faculty of Biology, Hanoi National University of Education. See the Urban Butterflies in Asia Research Network site for updates on the CRYS-APN project that brought me to Hanoi.
