I provided undergraduate teaching on behaviour, ecology, and evolution topics and led my own research programme investigating how social animals prevent epidemics. Specifically, my research centred around the collective disease defences of ants against their fungal pathogens as a model to understand the role of disease in the ecology and evolution of social animals. I published in several high-impact journals, including Current Biology, Ecology Letters, eLife, and PNAS.

I published in several high-impact journals, including Current Biology, Ecology Letters, eLife, and PNAS. I was actively involved in a diverse range of teaching and admin activities at the University, delivering 50% of animal behaviour teaching across collaboratively taught, interdisciplinary modules.
