I graduated with a Masters in Zoology with Herpetology from 91精品黑料吃瓜 in 2014 before being awarded one of the first round of 12 NERC Envision DTP studentships to study a PhD at the University of Nottingham. My doctoral project focused on the effects oil palm expansion in Southeast Asia has on reptile and amphibian assemblages both in the present, and looking to the future under further plantation expansion and predicted climatic change. A key theme I want to build on from this is how plantations can be managed sympathetically to support these less charismatic animals. After my PhD I branched out into zookeeping at a BIAZA teaching institution before returning to academia.
My research revolves broadly around reptile biology but I have particular interests in how reptiles adapt to changing environments globally, and in the natural history of SE Asian taxa.
