About Me
My core interest is in how organisms persist (or go extinct) on complex, real-world landscapes, especially those that are highly fragmented due to human activities.

In Progress
Active dispersal of organisms in patches
Modelling active dispersal of organisms between habitat patches.
Augmented reality for ecological data and processes
I am exploring the use of augmented reality as an interface to ecological data and a platform for teaching.
