I am a quantitative ecologist with a broad interest in biological diversity and ecosystem health functions of coastal and marine habitats. Coastal habitats are simultaneously threatened by climate change, poor water quality, changing physical conditions, and over-exploitation of ecologically important species. Therefore, I aim to address the interactive effects of these threats and try to find a way of converting these threats into opportunity.
My research interest also lies in the socio-ecological system related to the aquaculture and fisheries under the current context of global climate change. Beyond coastal ecology, I also have a growing interest in coastal Ecohydrology, a trans-disciplinary approach that seeks the solution to mitigate the effects of natural and anthropogenic activities on aquatic ecosystem functioning, and with the vision for the restoration of aquatic ecosystems and long-term sustainability.
Presently, my research focuses on trophic dynamics and range shift mechanism of species in a multi-stressor marine environment. I am particularly interested in exploring the combined effects of climate change, namely ocean acidification and warming, in conjunction with local environmental perturbations on the global marine ecosystem. I combine dynamic modelling with laboratory- and field experiments and apply these to long-term community data to answer contemporary research questions of global climate change.
I am working as a postdoc in the Southern Seas Ecology Laboratories and developing models that account range-extending coral reef species and their responses to native temperate species within the food webs of SE coast of Australia in the context of global climate change.
