Macquarie University Research Fellow, Macquarie University

I'm broadly interested in terrestrial ecosystem ecology and conservation.

I completed my PhD on the naiveté of native mammals towards alien predators in 2013.
I am currently a Macquarie University Research Fellow.

My research focuses on the ecological processes through which animals interact with disturbances such as introduced predators, competitors, and plants.

I am currently developing biodegradable flat-pack artificial refuges for wildlife after fires - "habitat pods".
