Brittany's research takes an interdisciplinary approach to combatting illegal logging and the associated trade, characterising the online timber trade across the Asia-pacific region and developing forensic tools to trace the origin of illegally sourced timber products.

Brittany completed her Bachelor of Science at the University of Adelaide, finishing her honours year with the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) in 2022. She has since worked as a laboratory technician at the Advanced DNA Identification and Forensic Facility (ADIFF), where she supported ongoing projects in timber tracking, environmental DNA and genetic resource management.

Supervised by Prof. Andrew Lowe, Prof. Phill Cassey and Dr Arif Malik, Brittany's project is supported by the ARC Industry Laureate Grant "Combatting wildlife crime and preventing environmental harm".
