Bio
I am a NERC Independent Research Fellow and Associate Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol, where I lead Selva Lab. Prior to joining the University of Bristol I was a Research Scientist at CSIRO in Australia, and before that I completed my PhD and a Postdoc at the University of Cambridge.
My research is broadly focused on understanding the processes that shape the structure, diversity and function of the world’s forests, in an effort to predict how these will respond to rapid environmental change and how this in turn will impact society. At Selva Lab we do this using everything from manipulative experiments, long-term field observations, cutting-edge remote sensing and modelling.
Aside from spending a lot of time thinking about trees, LiDAR and ways to analyse and visualize data, I am also an avid runner, rock climber, cook and aspiring potter.
