I am a quantitative ecologist and modeller with a focus on the population biology of native and invasive wildlife. My research investigates the processes influencing wild populations including survival, reproduction, dispersal, genetics, disease, harvesting, natural environmental variation and climate change. I use a mixture of field studies (e.g., capture-mark-recapture monitoring, animal tracking through GPS and PIT technology, eDNA-based diet analysis) and models to address applied questions in conservation biology and wildlife management.

Some current projects include:
- GPS tracking and population modelling of migratory and resident waterbirds
- Identifying drivers of woodland bird declines in the Mount Lofty Ranges
- Multi-strain modelling of rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) dynamics
- Spatial optimisation of control strategies for feral cats
- Genetic bioncontrols (gene drives) for controlling invasive species populations
- Molecular surveillance of marine pest species
- Population monitoring through genetics (e.g., effective population size)
