Postdoctoral researcher in the Environment Institute's Global Change, Ecology, and Conservation Lab at the University of Adelaide and the Globe Institute (University of Copenhagen).

I am a paleoecologist and biogeographer interested in extinction and species responses to ecological/climate changes throughout Earth's history. I often apply ecological modeling techniques to understand faunal turnover patterns and ecological response to environmental shifts.
