Biography
I am an ecologist with diverse experiences in marine and terrestrial systems across academic, NGO and government sectors. With this background, I am highly motivated to bridge the gaps between research and its real-world application. My current role as a Research Fellow in Applied Ecology is a partnership between QUT and Bush Heritage Australia, which ensures that my research is directly aligned to real-world conservation challenges.The biodiversity crisis is my most important motivator. I am passionate about finding creative and impactful solutions to the increasing threats faced by species and ecosystems. Bioacoustic and ecoacoustic methods are a major focus of my work, encompassing varied topics across animal vocal behaviour, machine learning, threatened species conservation, and large-scale ecological monitoring. I have worked on many taxa, including birds, frogs and fish. I hold a PhD in Conservation Biology from The University of Queensland, where I researched bioacoustics of endangered black-cockatoos.
