My teaching role focuses on the areas of ecology and environmental science. I will be heavily involved in the new B.Sc programme in Environmental Science, where I will be coordinating the Module on 'Global Environmental Processes' (EJ1GEP). I will also contribute to the teaching of 'Dissertations in Environmental Science' (C11BE1),' Data Transfer, Analysis and Presentation' (D212E1), 'Principals of Ecology' (D211E4) and 'Environmental science and Society' (C111E4). In addition, I contribute to the teaching of L2 'Communicating Biosciences' (D224E2) and to the M.Sc programme in Environmental Monitoring and Management.

Current Research

My primary research background centers on functional aquatic ecology. However within this, I have specific interests in the fields of aquatic and riparian botany, invasive species biology, the role of terrestrial versus aquatic energy inputs to aquatic food-webs and aquatic ecological functioning in relation to riparian management strategies.

Previous to arriving in Malaysia, I was working in the West of Ireland on an EU funded project focusing on the ecological impacts, biology, control and remediation of invasive species. In addition, I was involved in work in northern Scotland focusing on peatland stream carbon cycling and autochthonous production.

I undertook my PhD at the University of Glasgow examining the partitioning of energy resources and the functional ecology of aquatic and riparian communities in relation to clear-felling activities, varying corridor conditions and light levels within afforested catchments in southwest Scotland.
