I work at Earthwatch Europe as the research lead on sustainable agriculture. We are using citizen science to work with communities to understand the impact of agricultural practices on the natural environment. We use these outcomes to help develop a more sustainable approach towards agricultural practices.I worked at SRUC as a plant population geneticist on the broadening of the genetic basis of different agri- and horticultural crops to look at sustainable ways of stable crop outputs. This is mostly in relation to limited nutrient input and water and drought stress but also pathogen and herbivore resistance. I use genetic resources such as landraces and wild relatives of different crops to find traits for agri- and horticultural application.Next to plant focussed projects I was involved in crop protection looking at population genetics of barley pathogen Ramularia and pine tree pathogen Dothistroma in relation to their potential for invasiveness.We used genetic variation in agri- and horticultural crop species, genetic structure in pathogen populations, sustainable management of crops and the potential of natural populations for agricultural practices.

Listed skills include Science, Agricultural Research, Data Analysis, Population Genetics, and 11 others.
