Research focus
I am a evolutionary biologist that focuses on the influence of global change and its influence on genomic architecture and population fitness across aquatic species. I often utilise a multistressor framework and take a holistic look at adaptive change in populations, integrating genomic data, physiology, life history, behaviour and the microbiome. I also use my data to predict future adapation through genome forecasting models.
My academic route
Postdoc - University of Vermont
2024-Present
Postdoctoral associate in the Pespeni lab with research focusing on the integration of genomics and ecology to identify genomic regions of selection and forecast adaptation in intertidal populations.
Mentored by Melissa Pespeni and Joaquin Nunez
PhD - University of Jyväskylä
2020-2024
Thesis title: Has fisheries selection affected the recovery and adaptive potential of exploited fish populations?
Advisors: Dr. Silva Uusi-Heikkilä and Professor Phillip Watts
Masters - University of Liverpool
2017-2018
Advanced Biological Science (Evolution and Behaviour) MRes
Research Focus: Exploring the effects of nanoplastics on life history and immunity in Daphnia magna, within different environmental contexts, utilising multiple clones to assess clonal variation.
Advisors: Dr. Franziska Brunner and Dr. Stewart Plaistow
Undergraduate - University of Plymouth
2014-2017
Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology BSc (Hons)
Thesis Focus: How ocean acidification effects shell thickness and feeding rate of Mytilus edulis, using microCT and clearance rate analysis. Predator-prey interactions were also assessed in OA conditions.
