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 29 scientific papers (h- index of 16). My current research interests primarily concern the effects of global change on biodiversity, particularly with respect to the evolutionary potential of populations.
Teaching
My teaching reflects my expertise in the molecular biosciences as well as the ecological/environmental fields.
