About Michael


I am a marine ecophysiologist interested in how aquatic ectotherms function under natural and anthropogenic environmental change. In particular, I am interested in how organisms deal with the challenge of multiple interacting stressors and apply a multidisciplinary approach combining genomics, biochemistry and physiology to address this question. I am currently a lecturer in Marine Biology where I teach across all stages of the undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. I previously completed a PhD in Marine Sciences at the University of Plymouth investigating integrated response of marine invertebrates to climate-driven hypoxia.
