My Research

I am currently a PhD candidate focusing on ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, and landscape-scale ecological analysis. My work primarily involves using remote sensing techniques (including LiDAR) to understand and improve the resilience of ecosystems, particularly in the Cumberland Plain. I’m part of the Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan research group.

Current Research Projects:

• Vegetation Structure and Biodiversity on the Cumberland Plain: Understanding the relationship between vegetation structure and biodiversity across different landscapes to inform restoration and conservation efforts.
• Remote Sensing for Ecosystem Monitoring: Using LiDAR and other remote sensing technologies to analyze vegetation structure and assess the health and resilience of ecosystems.
• Conservation Prioritisation and Restoration: Developing strategies for prioritizing conservation efforts and restoring degraded ecosystems using data-driven approaches.

Future Directions:

I am also interested in exploring:

• Landscape-scale conservation planning
• Connectivity between fragmented habitats
• Agroecology and conservation in working landscapes

Looking Ahead:

I’ll be starting my search for a postdoctoral position in mid-2025. My areas of interest include:

• Landscape-Scale Conservation
• Connectivity and Biodiversity
• Conservation in Working Landscapes & Agroecology
• Avian Conservation
