My research interests are in biodiversity and conservation biology, including environmental genomics. I use a suite of methods from monitoring to genomic approaches and study a wide array of organisms and ecosystems.
I focus on the exchange between research and application, and the implementation of scientific results in conservation management and landscape planning.
