Anna is a Senior Lecturer in molecular ecology in the School of Science at Edith Cowan University. She is co-lead of the Molecular Ecology and Evolution Group and a member of the Conservation and Biodiversity Research Centre & the Centre for People, Place and Planet. She teaches in the areas of soil biology, ecology, environmental science and science communication.
Anna has experience working with soil microbes, plant-fungal-fauna interactions and fungal plant pathogens in native ecosystems, plantation forests and agriculture in both Australasia and Scandinavia. Recent research interests include understanding the impact of disturbances (such as drought, fire and urbanisation) on soil ecology and ecosystem health, and using molecular tools to answer broad ecological and management-based questions.
