Biography

My research interests span broad themes in fundamental ecology with specific interests in reef fish community ecology, seamounts, biogeography, mesophotic coral ecosystems, conservation biology and ecological connectivity. My current projects utilise both new technologies (ROVs) and in-situ underwater census to study and monitor deep and shallow reef communities in Papua New Guinea, the inshore Great Barrier Reef, The Coral Sea, Panama and The Caribbean Lesser Antillies.  I assist teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Marine Conservation Biology and supervise marine ecology HDR and Honors candidates.
