Personal profile
Research interests
As an ecologist specialising in climate change and livestock sustainability, my core interests are in leveraging data-driven insights to optimise animal health in a changing climate. My work centres on addressing the two-way interactions between animal health and GHG emissions, using theoretical modelling, controlled experimental trials, and field work.
My aim is to translate research outcomes into tangible action, informing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies for resilient agricultural systems in the face of environmental challenges.
My main research interests are:
- Interactions between climate change and animal health
- Mitigation and adaption approaches for sustainable livestock systems
- Approaches to modelling risk and adaptation under environmental change
- Wildlife and livestock interactions
- Disease control and surveillance
I am also an associate at Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland (BioSS)
