Postdoctoral research fellow, Stanford University

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University. My primary focus is on disease ecologist, and I have a particular interest in the interactions between vectors, wildlife and people. My current research looks at the role of non-human species in the maintenance and spread of Ross River virus, Australia's most common mosquito-borne disease.

Before undertaking my PhD, I completed my Bachelor of Science (Zoology and Ecology majors) at the University of Queensland, and my Masters of Science (Wild Animal Biology major) at Royal Veterinary College of London, in conjunction with the Zoological Society of London.

My research allowed me to work on human and animal disease systems, conservation, and global food security challenges.
