I am a multidisciplinary ecologist who is interested in understanding links between macro-scale management and micro-scale processes to improve the quality of natural and engineered systems. My work collaborates with industry, government, academia (national and international), and non-profit organisations to deliver positive environmental and social outcomes.I have a PhD in urban freshwater systems from the the University of Western Australia and a First Class Honors degree in Zoology. I also studied fine art and design at Curtin University.𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲:🌿 Urban aquatic ecology and restoration, including; constructed wetlands, ‘living’ streams, drains, streams, rivers and estuarine systems🌿 Microbial ecology and biogeochemistry of natural and engineered systems, including; biofilms, soils, plant-microbe interactions, anaerobic digestors, aquatic environments.🌿 Characterising dissolved organic matter (DOM) using fluorescence spectroscopy🌿 Experimental design, statistical analysis and project management for environmental/ecological research𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀:🌿 Evaluating the functions and benefits of constructed wetlands and living streams🌿 Quantifying the bioavailability of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the Peel-Harvey catchment🌿 Using Black Soldier Fly technology to convert agricultural waste into soil improvers🌿 Innovative on-farm water, energy and nutrient technologies and practices for Australian Dairy, Egg, Pork and Cropping industries
