About me

I am physiological/behavioural ecologist, broadly interested in understanding the interactions of ecology and physiology in driving the evolution of organisms.


I am interested in a diverse range of unconventional model systems, I am interested in the functional consequences of buoyancy in marine vertebrates, the implications of temperature for ectotherm performance and the ecology and evolution of locomotor capacity. These questions are being addressed in a range of organisms ranging from jellyfish to whale sharks.
