Academic rigor, journalistic flair
Visiting lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University, lecturer in biomolecular archaeology, University of Aberdeen
I specialise in ancient DNA analysis and am particularly interested in animal domestication and past human demography. I also have a keen interest in wet-lab ancient DNA methods.
My current research covers genome analysis of Early Medieval Picts in Scotland; assessing past biodiversity in Scotland and Ireland via environmental ancient DNA (NERC-funded QUADRAT PhD project at the University of Aberdeen); and past mobility and migration in prehistoric Scotland (University of Aberdeen-funded PhD project in collaboration with Marischal Museum, Aberdeen, and the Crick Institute, London).
