School of Biological Sciences

Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology

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.
