I am a Research Fellow with the Interdisciplinary Conservation Science Research Group, in the School of Global, Urban and Social Studies at RMIT University. I work as part of the National Environmental Science Programme – Clean Air and Urban Landscapes Hub, where I am contributing to The Shared Urban Habitat, a research project looking at addressing the broad question of how humans can effectively share the urban habitat with other species. I am particularly interested in developing protocols for bringing nature back into cities, including methods to understand how insects and birds disperse through fragmented urban landscape.
