Lecturer, School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences, The University of Melbourne

I use computational methods to study the ecology, impacts, and management of invasive species at large scales - particularly with regards to urban forest health. I am interested in uncovering generalities in invasion patterns that emerge as a consequence of humans. I am also interested in creating better forecasts of future invasion patterns, and better recommendations for invasive species management. I am currently a PI in the Quantitative and Applied Ecology Group (QAECo) at the University of Melbourne. I was previously an NSERC postdoctoral fellow at the Geomatics and Landscape Ecology Laboratory at Carleton University, and obtained my PhD from McGill University in 2020.
