I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Harry Butler Institute, Murdoch University (Perth, Australia) principally studying biosecurity and quarantine issues in relation to terrestrial invertebrates. My main research also includes documenting the biodiversity of the Australian terrestrial and subterranean invertebrate fauna, in particular spiders and other arachnids. I am also interested in the online dissemination of biodiversity data and an enthusiastic macro-photographer.
I am a Research Associate at the Western Australian Museum and the Center for Natural History, University Hamburg.
