I am a quantitative ecologist with a background in marine and environmental biology and statistics. I use statistical methods to learn about pattern and process in the ecology and biology of animals.
I am currently a research fellow at the Centre for Research into Environmental and Ecological Statistics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews and a research associate at Nelson Mandela University's Institute for Coastal and Marine Research in South Africa.
