Personal profile
Biography
I am an Honorary Senior Lecturer, I completed my PhD as an external and part-time scholar at Fenner School of Environment & Society. I am currently employed as a Research Scientist with New South Wales Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. My research delivers predictive and inferential models to protect biodiversity and make better conservation policy and decision making.
My PhD delivered spatially explicit models of vegetation condition over broad scales. I undertook this research in collaboration with CSIRO and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (Victoria) and NSW Department of Planning, Infrastructure and Environment.
My experience and skill base in enriching plot data to support site-scaled assessments of vegetation condition, blending bioinformatics and ecological modelling to support biodiversity policy are the areas where I will extend my future research.
