Oct 2019: After three action-packed years in Ireland, I've arrived back in Australia to start a new position as Lecturer in Wildlife Management in the School of Agriculture and Food Science (SAFS) at University of Queensland's Gatton Campus. I was welcomed to a region ravaged by bushfire; I drove through thick smoke as fires blazed right up to the edge of the highway; smoke hung in the air for several of my first few days. The effects of the drought are visible everywhere, even to someone not yet familiar with the landscape. It was a shocking welcome for a fire ecologist.
Despite the concerning conditions, I'm super happy to be at Gatton and looking forward to teaching and working with my new collegues in SAFS. I'm developing new research projects in wildlife, fire ecology and environmental management. Students interested in these areas can contact me to discuss potential research projects.
I'll have a new UQ website soon, but will probably keep this one as an external research site... This site needs an overhaul and is currently a bit out-of-date, so please email me for more info on my current research or to develop new collaborations.
