Welcome!

5R3A6560 (1)I’m an evolutionary biologist, and Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Moritz Group at the Australian National University. My research seeks to answer evolutionary and ecological questions, primarily using genomic approaches. I’m fascinated by questions about the evolutionary, ecological and demographic history of species, and the environments in which they live. I’m especially passionate about the use of museum collections as a resource for understanding past genetic diversity, population decline and extinction, and translating this to inform ongoing conservation management of threatened and declining species.

My work focuses on the spectacular diversity of Australian mammals and reptiles. This has especially included native rodents, and more recently marsupials and geckos. More details on my current research can be found here.

I supervise Honours, Masters and PhD students within the Research School of Biology at ANU – available student projects are listed here. If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to get in touch.
