Biography

Biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate, and with it many of the ecological functions on which human societies depend. To respond to this challenge effectively, we need to better understand the intricate dynamics of nature at scale: where species occur, how they move through and use landscapes, and how they respond to a rapidly changing world. During my PhD at Cambridge, I hope to contribute to this understanding by combining field data, ecological theory, and spatial modelling to study biodiversity across changing landscapes. My work explores how species’ traits, movement, and environmental conditions shape patterns of persistence, with the broader aim of informing conservation strategies that are both scientifically grounded and practically useful. Ultimately, I hope to help develop approaches that allow us to better protect biodiversity and the benefits it provides to people.
