Biography
Biography
Day to day, I am involved in the management of a range of Clinical Trials - a rewarding and exciting job that allows me to engage with a diverse range of people and projects. Current projects are an international CTIMP (ENRICH) and the SWIMSProject.
My PhD student - Linking species activity to ecosystem function - examined whether species could be grouped into "functional groups" according to their impact on their local environment. A predictive model of distribution of functional groups was then developed using environmental predictor values. My Master's project examined the spatio-temporal relationship between basking sharks and their prey off the South west of England.
