Overview

Office: Thoday F16

My Research

I am an experimental global change biologist with a focus on marine and coastal ecosystems. I am particularly interested in how anthropogenic pollutants like artificial light at night (ALAN) and anthropogenic noise affect animals in their behaviour, physiology, development, and chronobiology.

By taking a sensory ecology approach, I seek to advance our understanding of the underlying basic biology such as night-time ecology, biological rhythms (e.g., chronobiology, diel niche partitioning) while identifying avenues for mitigating adverse effects of anthropogenic global change and supporting wildlife conservation.

My research is interdisciplinary and I collaborate with molecular biologists, optical oceanographers, socio-economist and colleagues outside of academia and research (NGOs, conservation practitioners such as national park authorities and resources managers).
