About me

I completed my PhD in 2016 at Lincoln University, NZ, specializing in spatial and population modelling of invasive weeds. I have worked with SDMs, matrix-based population models, and individual based forest dynamic models.  My current position at AUT is funded by New Zealand's Biological Heritage National Science Challenge, where I am part of a large team led by Hannah Buckley (AUT) and David Norton (University of Canterbury) investigating functional biodiversity in NZ farm landscapes. We aim to bring together the social, ecological and economic factors that affect farm conservation and model future scenarios using network approaches. Check out our project website!

 

I am particularly interested in landscape and quantitative ecology, and how we can use technology in novel ways to answer ecological questions. In addition to highlighting my recent work, I'll be using this site to share useful code, ongoing analyses, and general tips and tricks as I think of them.
