My research sits at the intersection of environmental science, microbiology, and risk assessment, with a focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a One Health challenge — one that connects human, animal, and environmental systems rather than treating them in isolation. I'm particularly drawn to translational research: taking complex microbial and ecological processes and turning them into quantitative, decision-ready tools that government and industry can genuinely apply.
Methodologically, I combine Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) with Bayesian Network modelling, which lets me integrate diverse and often incomplete evidence — genomic, epidemiological, environmental — into coherent, transparent models of risk. I bring a systems-thinking lens to this work, treating resistance as something that emerges from interconnected pressures across water, agricultural, and built environments, rather than from any single point of intervention.
I'm strongly industry- and government-engaged, working directly with regulators and utilities so that research outputs translate into applicable risk management and policy guidance rather than sitting in the literature. I also value interdisciplinary and international collaboration, and bring a practitioner's perspective to this work as a qualified Environmental Health Officer, alongside my academic research training.
