I’m interested in how scientific approaches can be used to promote legal and sustainable utilisation of the world’s forest resources. Primarily this involves the application of DNA identification technologies but I’m also involved with the broader application and integration of complementary visual, genetic and chemical analysis methods. How scientific methods developed in an academic framework can be usefully translated and prepared for use as forensic tools, is another area of focus. More broadly I am interested in ecology in general and am currently course coordinator for Concepts in Ecology III.
