I study how biodiversity is shifting in a changing world. My research uses ecology, biogeography, and computer modelling to understand how species and ecosystems respond to climate change, human pressures, and environmental change through time. I am especially interested in predicting where species may move, which ecosystems are most vulnerable, and how conservation decisions can support more resilient futures. My work spans Australian biodiversity, past environmental change, threatened species conservation, and Antarctic ecosystems, with a focus on turning complex ecological data into practical insights for protecting nature.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
