I am interested in understanding the distribution of fish in relation to their habitat and how this is being influenced by climate change, fisheries management, and marine parks. I use a combination novel underwater video technologies to collect imagery and data from the field and new statistical approaches to understand the distribution of fish in relation to habitat type and environmental factors. My research takes me from the Southern Ocean to deep mesophotic reefs off Australia.

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.
