Biography

I am postdoctoral fellow at the Gulbali Institute at Charles Sturt University. I completed my PhD in 2022 at the University of Technology Sydney. I was awarded the Gulbali DECRA track postdoctoral fellowship to continue my research on how disturbance shapes species interactions. My work combines field research with meta-analytic and macro-ecological approaches to understand predator-prey interactions in a changing world. Beyond this, I have an interest in the behavioural dimensions of predator-prey ecology, specifically how animal cognition and culture shape predator-prey interactions and their associated ecosystem function.
