I am a research associate at the University of Southampton, working in the Micro-ARC project.

My main research interest is modelling animal populations and ecosystems to improve understanding of how climate changes and the harvesting of natural resources impacts marine life.

My previous Arctic research involved using a trait-based life history model to investigate mechanisms underpinning responses of abundant zooplankton species to warming oceans and diminishing sea ice (DIAPOD project). As part of the Micro-ARC project, working with Ben Ward, I am using models to investigate the size structure of plankton communities in the Fram Strait.
