Profile
I am a PGR at the University of Leeds working with Dr. Alastair Ward and alongside the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) to build mathematical models of deer populations in the UK to inform conservation policy and simulate ecological events such as disease outbreak.
During my undergraduate degree at the University of Nottingham (2021-2024) I worked on a final year project developing an integrated technique for marine eDNA monitoring of UK cetacean species.
Prior to and during my BSc (2020-2024) I worked as a lead software engineer for Assess Management Ltd building an online objective assessment tool.
Research interests
I am particularly interested in ecological networks and interactions, and how novel technological solutions can be applied to challenging conservation questions.
