Profile
As a Postgraduate Researcher, I am working to improve the evidence base for adaptive deer management and policy decision-making in the UK. In collaboration with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), my work aims to directly inform wildlife disease management policy for British deer, as well as provide a foundation for complex quantitative investigation into deer ecology.
My background combines ecology, mathematics, and software engineering, with prior research at the University of Nottingham. I am interested in applying computational methods to wildlife management, conservation, and ecosystem restoration.
