I am interested in spatio-temporal processes influencing the dynamics and functioning of wooded landscapes. I am particularly interested in conducting research aimed at providing a better understanding of ecological and ecosystem processes that help inform restoration initiatives and improve sustainable land management and biodiversity conservation.
I have over five years of experience in undertaking and designing programmes of research in ecology, focusing on woodland/forest functioning and conservation. I have supervised projects in Europe (the Netherlands, UK) and Asia (Kyrgyzstan) and am keen to continue my research career by identifying and setting up new lines of collaborative research.
