I specialise in understanding and addressing the impacts of human activities on biodiversity and freshwater ecosystems, with a particular focus on conservation challenges in Australia. My expertise spans multiple levels of ecological complexity, from individual species to entire ecosystems, integrating advanced methods to unravel the dynamics of these systems and inform effective conservation strategies.

I have developed and applied innovative approaches to assess ecosystem processes, quantify the impacts of threats, and strengthen socio-ecological frameworks. My work with state and federal agencies has been instrumental in translating scientific insights into actionable management plans, ensuring the preservation of critical habitats and species.

As the lead of the Platypus Conservation Initiative, I am at the forefront of platypus research, combining extensive population monitoring with strategic conservation planning to safeguard this iconic species. My expertise in biodiversity assessment and ecosystem management contributes to global efforts to mitigate the ongoing biodiversity crisis.
