Personal profile
Research interests
I am a quantitative ecologist in the Disease Systems Team, with main interests in:
- Interactions between climate change and animal health
- Biotic and abiotic drivers of parasite transmission
- Approaches to modelling disease systems
- Wildlife and livestock disease dynamics
- Disease control and surveillance
My research covers both wildlife and livestock disease dynamics, at scales ranging from individual host and farm level risk, to metapopulations and national level drivers of outbreaks. I have particular interests in the two-way interaction between animal health and climate change, and in wildlife reservoirs of livestock pathogens.
I develop models of ecological and epidemiological processes using both mechanistic process-based approaches and GIS based correlative modelling, across multiple scales from individual hosts up to national levels. This theoretical modelling is complimented by experimental field work, with both approaches combining to improve understanding of disease dynamics, and inform long-term control strategies.
I am also an associate at Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland (BioSS)
