Personal profile
Research Interests
My background is in population genetic analysis and phylogeography. I have recently branched into eDNA and metabarcoding techniques, I have used these to explore determining Kelp detritus dispersion across the Irish Sea as well as, the wintering diet of migrating bird species. I have published 27 scientific papers (h- index of 15). My current research interests primarily concern the effects of global change on biodiversity, particularly with respect to the evolutionary potential of populations.
